Gary Lineker heaped praise on Mason Mount after he opened the scoring for Chelsea during their Champions League clash against Porto last night.

The 22-year-old has been one of the Blues’ standout players, and he has particularly excelled since Thomas Tuchel took charge as manager in January.

He scored a consolation goal in the 5-2 humbling by West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, where he was only a second-half substitute.

The attacking midfielder continued his good form with a splendid goal against Porto, where he unleashed a first-time shot after a clever turn.

Former England star turned popular pundit Lineker was full of praise for the Blues star. Here is what he posted on his official Twitter account.

He’s done it again. Magnificent from @masonmount_10. What a player.
