A selection of Chelsea fans were delighted with Mason Mount’s display during England’s 2-0 win over Albania in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
The 22-year-old had come for criticism from some Blues supporters in the past for his inability to convert chances in the final third of the pitch.
However, he has shown significant improvement in that aspect, registering three goals from six league starts before the international break.
Mount recently bagged an assist in the Three Lions’ 5-0 triumph over San Marino.
He created eight chances in his 45-minute appearance, which was the most in a World Cup qualifier since Xavi for Spain in 2008.
He carried his fine form into the Albania game, where he scored after the hour mark to make it 2-0 for Gareth Southgate’s side.
Harry Kane, who opened the scoring, produced a lovely pass for Mount, who cleverly slotted the ball past the advancing goalkeeper.
With his strike, Mount became the first Blues player to score or assist in three consecutive England appearances since Frank Lampard.
Before his recent efforts, he scored the second goal against Iceland in a 4-0 triumph back in November last year.
A section of the club’s faithful on Twitter heaped praise on him following his goal for the Three Lions last night.

Makes me so happy as a Chelsea fan seeing that the majority of football fans love Mason Mount. Something like this does not happen often with a Chelsea player.
