Andriy Shevchenko hits ground running at Dynamo Kiev
01.09.09
Andriy Shevchenko scored on his return to Dynamo Kiev duty last night in a 3-1 win against Metallurg Donetsk.
The 32-year-old striker was back on duty for Dynamo 10 years after leaving to join AC Milan and just days after completing his transfer from Chelsea.
Shevchenko made sure of victory with a last-minute penalty after Milos Ninkovic and Andriy Yarmolenko had earlier edged Dynamo in front.
Ninkovic and Yarmolenko scored either side of Ciprian Tanasa's reply in a spell of three goals in five minutes just before half-time.
Dynamo stay top of the Superliga table, while Shakhtar Donetsk remain in touch after grabbing their fourth win in five games, winning 3-1 at home against Zarya Lugansk.

for sheva, i think he should makes strong his mentality. he's one of the best striker on earth ever born. and no one doubt it the fact.specially me. but i guess he made a good decision for now.to convince to the world that he's not finish yet. i thought he shouldn't move to chelsea from milan. i don't know what he was thinkin'. he should moved to la liga not EPL.i prefer he should moved to barca. but no matter what you decision as long as that's good for you, im with u. coz you are my biggest fan striker in the whole world. no matter you play,good or worse you still my idol till i die. sheva keep moving, dude!!! kick they ass!!!!

It's a shame that Shevchenko had to leave Chelsea. I have always been a big fan of his and although he never really was able to settle down playing in England, I partly blame him for not trying harder to secure a spot in the team on a regular basis. The management should have given him more time as I was always convinvced he would eventually become a player to be feared. The Chelsea fans liked him and perhaps one day he could return.
