Thomas Tuchel says Mason Mount's display against Porto is 'a big step for him' after scoring Chelsea's first goal in the 2-0 quarter-final Champions League victory in Seville

Thomas Tuchel lavished praise on 'clinical' Mason Mount as the starlet broke his Champions League duck to fire Chelsea to within touching distance of the semi-finals.

The England international notched his first goal in the competition as the Blues stormed past Porto in their quarter-final first leg, with Ben Chilwell adding a second late to also open his Champions League account.

'The finishing was clinical, Mason has the quality to do this and to do it in a quarter is a big step for him,' said Blues head coach Tuchel.
