Chelsea: Graham Potter cannot understand Mason Mount critics

Chelsea boss Graham Potter finds it "strange" that there are mixed opinions on midfielder Mason Mount.

The 23-year-old scored his first club goals of the season as the Blues won 2-0 at Aston Villa on Sunday.

"It's a joy. He's a fantastic person, he loves to play football and he loves the club here," Potter said when asked what it is like to coach Mount.

But the midfielder has faced criticism over his performances for his club and for England.

Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton suggested in June that Mount did not score enough goals to warrant his international place.
