Chelsea player Mykhailo Mudryk had a laser shone in his face on his first appearance at the Emirates following January's transfer saga.

The Ukraine international had looked destined to join Mikel Arteta's side but in the end Chelsea stole a march at the 11th hour and secured a deal for a player widely considered to be among the best young talents in world football.

Mudryk was booed as he entered the pitch as a replacement for Raheem Sterling in the second half and every time he touched the ball.

Sky Sports cameras also picked up on the Ukrainian having the laser shone on him for much of his time on the pitch, though he did not appear to notice. 

The treatment of Mudryk was particularly confusing for some, especially with the context attached that he appeared to want to join Arsenal in January though the decision was taken out of his hands with Chelsea agreeing to pay more.
