Midfield maestro Mount bolstered his rapidly growing reputation with a sublime touch to set up Havertz to put Chelsea ahead after just 10 minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, controlling a long ball from Thiago Silva before feeding the German who slid home his third league goal of the season since making a £75 million move from Bayer Leverkusen last summer.  

The finish was cute but the praise was all for Mount for the magical way the 22-year-old England man killed the ball dead before sending a perfectly-weighted through-ball to his teammate – a moment which sent social media into raptures at the youngster’s “scary” talent.
