Mason Mount bagged Chelsea’s first goal this afternoon, but some fans were really taken aback by other features of his game.
Perhaps those Blues fans who didn’t get much of a chance to see him at Derby last season won’t be aware just how menacing his set pieces are. From both corners and free kicks he’s been a real threat today, in a way that we haven’t often seen at Chelsea in recent years. If he does battle his way into our first team, that will be a major reason why. With players like Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger lurking in the box, and set piece is a major threat. Add Mason to that and you have a recipe for goals.
