It was his best moment in a Chelsea shirt so far according to Mason Mount when describing Chelsea’s 2-0 win at Spurs and our young midfielder certainly played his part in a memorable win on our first visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Mount was deployed as one of Frank Lampard’s inside forwards in a 3-4-3 system that suffocated Spurs and helped us completely control the London derby. After a run of games that have seen us take just three points from a possible 15 in the Premier League, the victory was particularly significant against a fellow top-four contender and was made all the sweeter coming against our big rivals, as the 20-year-old testified.
‘This game has been my best moment so far,’ he claimed after the win. ‘Obviously scoring on my home debut was up there but we knew how important this was and it was a massive win for our team, the manager, all the backroom staff and the whole club.
‘We wanted to give the fans an early Christmas present and keep working because you always want to be looking up rather than falling back and worrying about what’s happening below you. We just had to stay focused.
