What Chelsea's Mason Mount did as Man United's Luke Shaw scored in England vs Switzerland

Chelsea attacking midfielder Mason Mount played his part in a small way as England levelled against Switzerland just before half-time in the international friendly at Wembley on Saturday evening.

Gareth Southgate's side had started the match rather poorly and were made to pay as Borussia Monchengladbach striker Breel Embolo headed his side in front with 22 minutes played on the clock. However, just before the half-time whistle, a Blues duo played a big part in helping Luke Shaw score yet another Wembley goal, following on from the strike he netted in the Euro 2020 final against Italy last summer.

As the ball was chased into the corner, pressure from Phil Foden resulted in a rare Swiss mistake. After Chelsea loanee Gallagher received the ball on the right-hand side, his switching pass eventually found the Man United left-back, who put his laces through it and got England level on the night. All the focus was on Gallagher and Shaw after that equaliser, but some fans had picked up on Mount's contribution which in the end helped with the ball eventually reaching the left-back.
