Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel demands an investigation into social media abuse of Mason Mount after the midfielder was labelled a 'bottle job' by online trolls for his missed penalty in FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool

Thomas Tuchel has called for a full investigation into social media abuse directed at Mason Mount following Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool.

Mount, 23, missed the decisive spot-kick in the penalty shootout, with Alisson Becker guessing the right way in sudden death as Liverpool won 6-5.

The Blues midfielder was subsequently the focus of abuse on social media with online trolls labelling Mount a 'bottle job', the sole reason Chelsea lost a second domestic cup final of the season and was told in some quarters to 'f*** off'.
