Frank Lampard has revealed that he'll send Mason Mount a message of thanks for doing Everton a favour in the Premier League relegation battle.
The Chelsea star scored his side's first goal in their 3-0 demolition of 10-man Leeds United at Elland Road, building confidence for Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool. Mount's opener in the fourth minute set the Blues off to a rousing start before Dan James was sent off for an ill-timed tackle on Mateo Kovacic. Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku wrapped up the three points in the second half, keeping Leeds top of the drop zone and Everton two points clear.
Meanwhile on Wednesday night, the Toffees could only manage a 0-0 draw at second-bottom Watford and Lampard made sure to thank Mount for helping his team out. "It was useful, I'll send him a message of thanks later," the former Chelsea boss and club legend, who also managed Mount at Derby County, told beIN Sport.
