'First of many' - Lampard trusts Mount to captain Chelsea again after performance in FA Cup win

Frank Lampard expects Mason Mount to wear the captain's armband "many times" in the future for Chelsea after the midfielder was trusted to lead the team in Sunday's 3-1 win against Luton.

In the absence of captain Cesar Azpilicueta, the 22-year-old became the youngest player to wear the armband for the Blues since club legend John Terry was first given the role at the age of 21.

Chelsea were dominant in the FA Cup fourth round tie as a hat-trick from Tammy Abraham was enough to give them the win at Stamford Bridge despite Jordan Clark's goal for the Championship side in the first half.
