DBasia.news – Chelsea had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Leicester City in Week two of the Premier League which took place at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (18/8).
Despite canceling full points because the visitors managed to reply through Wilfred Ndidi’s goal in the 67th minute, the match against Brendan Rodgers’ squad still feels special for one of the Blues young players, Mason Mount. The 20-year-old player again became a starter and successfully scored his first goal in the seventh minute.
After the match, even Mason Mount could not hide his happiness. In fact, according to him, being able to score the first goal in the Premier League while playing in front of his supporters was a dream come true.
“Yes, being able to score an inaugural goal in the Premier League when playing debut at home is a dream come true. It also has become very meaningful for me,” Mount said as reported by Football London.
“Since I was six years old, I have a dream to be able to play and then score goals. That happened today. I feel very happy, but overall I am also disappointed because I failed to win the match,” added the player who was loaned to Derby County last season.
Mount’s goal against the Foxes feels even more special, the thing is, he became the first British Chelsea player who successfully scored under the direction of the English coach after the last time the club legend, Dennis Wise did it in the Glenn Hoddle era in 1996.
After this match, Chelsea will soon be ready to carry out an away match to Carrow Road, the promotion team headquarters, Norwich City, Saturday (8/24).
