Mount and Maddison produce

rare show of English midfield

mastery

The two young attacking midfielders shone at Stamford Bridge (PA)

Mason Mount collects the ball in a cul-de-sac of Leicester City shirts and looks around. The debutant has
about half a second to decide what to do. Cesar Azpilicueta is way back down the touchline and even his
unique fast-twitch waddle isn’t going to transport him to Mount’s aid quickly enough. Pedro is closer but for
seemingly the first time in the entire match the Spaniard is standing still, offering a passing option that
would require the cooperation of several opponents.
