Frank Lampard praises Mason Mount after Chelsea beat Rennes and asks fans to stop criticising him

Frank Lampard was full of praise for Mason Mount in Chelsea's 2-1 Champions League win over Rennes on Tuesday and has called for criticism of him to stop.

Mount laid on a superb assist for the Blues' opening goal which was finished by Callum Hudson-Odoi with an equally good finish in the first-half at Roazhon Park.

The 21-year-old has been the subject of criticism by fans of the England national team who believe Gareth Southgate is denying Jack Grealish more minutes by selecting the Chelsea midfielder in recent week.
