Mason Mount helped England win 4-0 away to Hungary on Thursday night – and some Chelsea fans on Twitter hailed the performance of their star.
Blues ace Mount, 22, has joined up with his country England for the international break and was in action last night.
The £88,000-a-week attacking playmaker made one assist and one pre-assist for the Three Lions during their comprehensive 4-0 victory in a World Cup qualifier.
It was the kind of fast-paced creative display that Chelsea fans have become used to seeing from him at club level.
He manages to have a similar kind of impact when he represents his country, with his connection to Manchester City’s Jack Grealish proving effective in an England shirt.
Mason Mount key for England
A selection of Chelsea supporters on social media were quick to applaud Mount for his latest England performance, despite the fact he gets needless criticism at times from rival fans.
A lot of his work rate, movement and energy is something that gets overlooked. Thankfully, England boss Gareth Southgate views it different.
The one area of his game he needs to improve to take himself to the elite status is his end product because he’s got everything else in bucket loads.
It was a great assist last night with his pass to Raheem Sterling, but he needs to try boost his figures up for direct goal contributions.
He ended up with nine goals and nine assists last season for Chelsea, so his aim should be to hit double figures in both.
