Mount reacts to his performance vs Southampton

Chelsea star Mason Mount has expressed excitement at his performance against Southampton on Saturday in the EPL.

He scored two of the Blues’ six goals against the Saint, and it was impressive.

Yesterday Mount was between midfield and attack as he linked up players and burst from deep.

He superbly set up Marcos Alonso’s first goal before firing in his first of the game. His second was a much easier finish and sealed a six-star Chelsea showing.

‘It was a performance that had a lot of fire in it,’ said Mount afterwards.

‘We needed a win. That was all that was on our mind. It didn’t matter who was in front of us, we were going to give it everything after two disappointing results. You could see in our performance there was a bit of frustration there, and a relentlessness to punish a team.

‘To get the early goals helped,’ added Mount.

‘We kept going, got a few more, and the game was dead. You could see what it meant to us. It gives us confidence, especially after the last two results, confidence to get back winning and have that winning feeling. We need to carry this on. I feel like we are back on track and we need to keep it that way.’
