Chelsea attacking midfielder Mason Mount has been in excellent form since the restart and he demonstrated his confidence with a superb turn and pass in the 3-2 win against Crystal Palace yesterday evening.
After picking up the ball, he made a fool of the onrushing Eagles defender before delivering a pass to Willian on the opposite flank and supporters on Twitter were praising the 21-year-old for his skill:
gorgeous?

Mount has had his critics at times this season with the England international having struggled somewhat after a very bright start to the campaign.
However, he has been the Blues’ key playmaker in recent games, playing in a deeper role and setting up a number of chances for his teammates. He also had a great shot saved by keeper Vicente Guaita at Selhurst Park so although he hasn’t gotten on the scoresheet since the Premier League returned, he certainly remains a goal threat.
