Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has said he's pleased with the manner in which the team have proved doubters wrong in the early weeks of the 2019-20 season.
The Blues got off to a shaky start under manager Frank Lampard, and many expected the ban on summer signings to be a big hindrance to the team. However, the young side have excelled in recent weeks, playing exciting attacking football and winning their last seven games in a row.
Ahead of the clash with Manchester United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Mount said the team are doing what they can to silence the critics, per James Nalton of Goal:
"The manager tells us that we're not going to be given a chance just because we're young, we have to earn it.
