Everton manager Frank Lampard was delighted after hearing his former player Mason Mount managed to help Chelsea past Leeds United 3-0 at Elland Road. Goals from Mount, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku helped Lampard's former side to an impressive win over a disappointing Leeds outfit that had Dan James sent off for a dangerous challenge on Blues midfielder Mateo Kovacic.
Meanwhile, Everton played out a 0-0 draw against Watford away, but moved a step closer to safety by picking up a point against the Hornets. They now sit two points clear of Leeds in 16th place with a game in hand.
Mount and Lampard have always shared a strong bond, with the latter giving the former his first team opportunity at Derby County before taking on the Chelsea job, allowing the England international to flourish.
