Former Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has taken to Instagram to praise the performance of his old teammate Mason Mount.
The Englishman was among the starters who helped the Blues to a 2-1 victory in the Champions League.
His performance was recognised as he was awarded the official player of the match award from UEFA.
He was on hand to set up debuting Denis Zakaria for his first Chelsea goal, on what was an impressive showing for the Switzerland international.
For Mount meanwhile, it was more of the same in terms of impressive performances in recent weeks.
His career has certainly taken a positive turn since Graham Potter joined the club, with him giving a timely reminder to any doubters just how important he is at Stamford Bridge.
Gilmour praises Mount
His impact last night certainly didn’t go unnoticed amongst his fellow professionals. Gilmour took to Instagram to show his appreciation for his former teammates performance.
The Scotland international has hardly enjoyed the best season so far.
After being effectively forced out of the club by prior manager Thomas Tuchel, he looked set for a breakthrough season under Potter at Brighton.
However, the managerial shifts have left him out in the cold at the Amex for the majority of the time.
Mount will be expecting to start at the weekend against Arsenal, as Chelsea face the task of trying to slow the momentum of the table toppers.
The Englishman picked up a couple of assists against the Gunners last season, and will be a crucial member of the Blues if they are to cause somewhat of an upset on Sunday.
With the pressure of teams around them continuing to win, a return to winning ways before the World Cup break will be the biggest priority for the Blues over the next couple of weeks.
