The son of the legendary Ukrainian forward scored in the semifinals of the youth tournament.
Watford junior team coach Tom Cleverley commented on his team's victory in the Professional Development League semi-final match against Burnley (2:0), in which Christian Shevchenko and Max Smith scored goals.
" Christian was simply fantastic the rest of the time. Looks like his seventh goal in his remaining seven matches.
There is no chance of getting to the U-21 warehouse. Unfavourable with my game, I am truly hostile to him,” said Cleverly, the club’s press service..
It was previously reported that Shevchenko had been promoted to the reserve list of Ukrainian conscripts for 2024.
