Chelsea boss raves about Mason Mount after 7-0 Norwich victory
Chelsea claimed a dominating 7-0 victory over Daniel Farke’s Norwich City at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.

However, the England international broke his goal duck with a fierce drive within the first eight minutes of the match.

Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...

Thomas Tuchel has named his 25-man squad for the trip to Portugal to face Manchester City in the Champions League final. Our head coach looks set to have a full squad to choose from in Porto, with his 25 players flying to Portugal today ahead of Saturday’s final, following N’Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy’s return to training yesterday after picking up injuries in our last two Premier League fixtures. ‘N’Golo is looking good and I hope he stays like that for Saturday,’ said Tuchel. ‘Edou made a huge improvement with the management of pain from when the injury happened, which is good.

Thomas Tuchel reacts as ‘unlucky’ Chelsea suffer back-to-back FA Cup final defeats
Chelsea suffered late VAR heartache as they slipped to back-to-back FA Cup final defeats after a 1-0 loss to Leicester City, Youri Tielemans’ second-half strike proving decisive. In front of a reduced, yet undoubtedly noisy, Wembley crowd, it was Chelsea who made the brighter start, Timo Werner showcasing his electric speed to test the Foxes backline early on. Despite controlling the opening exchanges, the first real chance of the match fell to their opponents, Timothy Castagne getting in down the right and teeing up Jamie Vardy inside the area, the veteran striker’s effort well blocked by Reece James. At the other end of the pitch, Thomas Tuchel’s men almost fashioned a chance of their own, Thiago Silva’s dinked cross agonisingly evading the head of Cesar Azpilicueta at the back post, aft...
‘Outstanding’: Thomas Tuchel heaps praise on Chelsea star, compares Phil Foden to him
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel heaped praise on midfielder Mason Mount ahead of the club’s Premier League clash against Manchester City on Saturday. Mount has been an integral part of the Blues line-up, flourishing in the final third since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as the manager in January. He has registered seven goals with Tuchel at the helm, with one of those coming in the midweek Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The Blues won 2-0 in the second leg of their semi-final tie on Wednesday, cementing their spot in the final with a 3-1 aggregate triumph. Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game, Tuchel was asked about Mount and Foden, and he was full of praise for the England internationals. He added that he believes that Foden has similar qualities to Mount, who he described as ‘outs...
Chelsea squeeze through to UCL semis after late Porto scare
Chelsea booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals despite a late goal from Mehdi Taremi for Porto on Tuesday night. The Portuguese outfit tried to set a fast tempo from the off but struggled to break down Chelsea in a first period where neither side had a shot on target. The pattern continued after the interval and it wasn’t until the 65th minute that Edouard Mendy was forced to make a save when he easily kept out substitute Mehdi Taremi’s header. The Blues had the better of the half chances through Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic but seemed content with a stalemate that was broken four minutes into added time when Taremi struck to give Cheslea a late scare. Chelsea, who will meet either Liverpool or Real Madrid in the last four, will now shift focus to the FA Cup semi final ...
‘What a player’: Gary Lineker raves about ‘Magnificent’ Chelsea star in Porto win
Gary Lineker heaped praise on Mason Mount after he opened the scoring for Chelsea during their Champions League clash against Porto last night. The 22-year-old has been one of the Blues’ standout players, and he has particularly excelled since Thomas Tuchel took charge as manager in January. He scored a consolation goal in the 5-2 humbling by West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, where he was only a second-half substitute. The attacking midfielder continued his good form with a splendid goal against Porto, where he unleashed a first-time shot after a clever turn. Former England star turned popular pundit Lineker was full of praise for the Blues star. Here is what he posted on his official Twitter account. He’s done it again. Magnificent from @masonmount_10. What a player. — Gary Lineker &#x...
Chelsea star responds to Leeds man’s Instagram post in three words
Kalvin Phillips took to social networking site Instagram after England’s 2-0 win over Albania in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday. The Leeds midfielder started the game and played until the 71st minute. He was then replaced by Southampton star James Ward-Prowse. Phillips, who impressed heavily during England’s 5-0 win over San Marino, took to Instagram to express his reaction and received a response from Chelsea’s Mason Mount. England maintained their winning start to the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with that result. Tottenham striker Harry Kane scored the opening goal of the match. The England skipper then turned into a provider for Mount’s goal. Phillips, who was superb against San Marino, played out 54 successful passes out of 58 attempted. He made one tackle, one interceptio...
‘So happy’, ‘Improving’: Some Chelsea fans praise 22-year-old’s display on int’l duty
A selection of Chelsea fans were delighted with Mason Mount’s display during England’s 2-0 win over Albania in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday. The 22-year-old had come for criticism from some Blues supporters in the past for his inability to convert chances in the final third of the pitch. However, he showed a significant improvement in that aspect and prior to the international break, he registered three goals from six league starts. Mount recently bagged an assist in the Three Lions’ 5-0 triumph over San Marino. He created eight chances in his 45-minute appearance, which was the most in a World Cup qualifier since Xavi for Spain in 2008. He carried his fine form into the Albania game where he scored after the hour mark to make it 2-0 for Gareth Southgate’s side. Harry Kane, who opened t...
‘Future captain’, ‘Best player’: Some Chelsea fans react to midfielder’s performance vs Liverpool
A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter were delighted with Mason Mount following his impressive showing against Liverpool in the Premier League last night. The Blues went into the game needing a victory to jump into the top four and managed to do so through Mount, who scored the only goal at Anfield in the 42nd minute. The west London giants were the better attacking side over the course of the game and were unlucky to not open the scoring in the 25th minute. Werner pounced on a long ball before rounding the goalkeeper to find the back of the net, but his strike was cancelled out by VAR as he was offside by millimetres. The Blues kept on going and eventually broke the deadlock before the interval when Mount was found on the left flank through a brilliant pinpoint pass from N’Golo Kante. Mo...
Chelsea boss takes blame for Hakim Ziyech struggles at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has shouldered the blame for Hakim Ziyech’s stalled progress at Stamford Bridge, challenging the midfielder to fight for his place in the team. Morocco international Ziyech, who signed in July, has only featured twice so far under Tuchel, leading to suggestions the former Ajax star could seek a summer exit. But Tuchel is adamant he will need to call on Ziyech as the hectic season unfolds. “It is my fault actually, not his,” Tuchel said on Friday. “It is my hard decisions at the moment as well for Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and for Christian Pulisic sometimes in the half positions where we seem the strongest. “It is the same for Hakim at the moment and for some other players — there were hard decisions to make. It is never easy but it is a good thing, we have...
