FANS hailed classy Mykhailo Mudryk for his touching gesture to a young mascot.
The Chelsea winger, 22, started for the Blues in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Saturday.

But before the game even kicked off, the Ukrainian left a lasting impression with a lovely moment.
Mudryk and his Chelsea team-mates walked out on to the Stamford Bridge pitch in the driving West London rain.
The ten outfield players each wore matching raincoats covering their home shirts.
But after Mudryk walked out with his mascot in his jacket, he swiftly and heartwarmingly handed it over to the youngster as the teams lined up.
While the other mascots struggled in the cold and wet weather, Mudryk’s was slightly warmer and certainly drier as she wore his £99 waterproof windbreaker.
Chelsea shared the “wholesome moment” on social media on Monday afternoon – two days on from the Premier League clash.
And fans flooded the comments with positive messages for the No10.
One said: “He has a warm heart.”

Another wrote: “Class both on and off the pitch.”
A third added: “The Chelsea admin loves Misha so much and we love him too.”
And a final user simply replied: “Good fella.”
Mudryk delivered once the match got underway, too.
It was his header that cannoned off William Saliba’s arm – giving Cole Palmer the opportunity to open the scoring from the penalty spot.
And Mudryk made it 2-0 in fortuitous fashion when his apparent cross looped over David Raya in the Arsenal goal.
The goal could mean an awkward reunion with Olesksandr Zinchenko at November’s international break – after the Arsenal left-back jokingly threatened to “rip his balls off” if Mudryk scored against the North Londoners.
The £88million winger, who almost joined the Gunners in January, was replaced by boss Mauricio Pochettino, who insists there is still plenty of room for development.
Poch said: “I think he played well but he also needs to improve. For me, he is still not at his best.
“I think we needed to make a change to add a little bit more pressure with Jackson in front.”
However, a Robert Sanchez error allowed Declan Rice to pull one back before Leandro Trossard rescued a point for unbeaten Arsenal.
