Mason Mount puts his England struggles behind him as he doubles the lead for Chelsea CFC
Mason Mount hit a ‘wonderful strike’ from outside the box to put his side 2-0 up against Bournemouth in his 150th start for Chelsea.
The Blues got off to flying start in their first Premier League game since the World Cup break, with both Mount and Raheem Sterling shaking off a difficult time with England in Qatar.Graham Potter’s side had already gone 1-0 up after just 16 minutes thanks to Kai Havertz, who was preferred over summer arrival Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
And the German’s opener was assisted by England’s Sterling – who struggled for a spot in the team in Qatar – when he sent a sublime ball in from the right., either, as he let fly from distance into the bottom left corner of the Cherries’ goal after being left unmarked.“It’s just the movement of Chelsea. This is what top class players do,” talkSPORT’s GameDay commentator for the match and ex-Chelsea star Scott Minto said.
“None of Bournemouth’s players would get in this Chelsea team. Zakaria should’ve had a shot, he didn’t, the ball was played back and that’s a wonderful finish from Mason Mount.Mount won a penalty for England against France but later wasted a speculative effortMount started England’s opener in Qatar in a 6-2 win over Iran, but came in for criticism when the side struggled in a 0-0 draw against the USA.
After being dropped against Wales, he was an early injury substitution against both Senegal and France, but ended the tournament without any goal involvements.18+ New customers only.
