Thomas Tuchel admits he faced Mason Mount 's blazing glare after leaving the playmaker on the bench for Chelsea 's crucial encounter at Manchester City.
Mount, 23, had to settle for a brief cameo in the closing stages as the West Londoners fell to a 1-0 defeat against the Premier League leaders on Saturday afternoon.
The England international was in brilliant form prior to his surprise omission with seven goals and five assists in the top flight this season.
