Frank Lampard hails 'outstanding' Mason Mount for his match-winning display in Chelsea's 1-0 victory over ten-man Fulham as he compares the youngster to his own development at Stamford Bridge aged 22

Frank Lampard has praised Chelsea star Mason Mount after his match-winning display in their 1-0 victory over Fulham.

The 22-year-old scored the only goal of the game late on in a hard-fought victory against their opposition who went down to ten-men in the first-half.

Mount - who earlier hit the bar - scored the match-winner after 78-minutes with a half-volley after Alphonse Areola flapped at Ben Chilwell's cross.
