I’m happy to end scoring drought – Chelsea midfielder Mount
I’m happy to end scoring drought – Chelsea midfielder Mount

Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount was happy to find the back of the net against Aston Villa.

Mount netted twice to help the Blues secure a 2-0 win away from home in the Premier League.

He had to wait 13 games into this season before getting his first strike, but he had managed four assists in wins over Wolves and AC Milan recently.

“You never want to start the season without scoring for that long, but it happened to me last season, so I know how to deal with it,” Mount said to the club website post-game.

“I don’t want it to happen, but it doesn’t bother me too much. I’m mentally strong, I stuck at it, and eventually in my head I’m thinking they’re going to come.

“Last season when I scored my first goal I got two others in the game, and now I’ve got two. It was an enjoyable one. And the most important thing is that as a team we’ve been winning.”

He added on the win: “We know we can do better, but we stuck it out, dug in and got the win. The gaffer says a lot we have got to suffer in games sometimes. We did that.

“We know as players in the game we’re not going to have the ball for the whole game. We are playing against top opposition who are going to have the ball and have chances. We have got to suffer through those times. I felt like we did that in the first half.

“The game didn’t feel right, but the most important thing was we came through and got into half-time 1-0. Then we can take a breather, speak, and see where we could change.

“We came out second half, regrouped, changed a few things to see how we could have more possession and create chances.

“The second half wasn’t as frantic. We had more control. They are always going to have chances – they’re at home throwing everything at us to get a goal – and these games away from home are never easy, but we came through it.”
