What Mason Mount did to Chelsea teammate after England's World Cup last 16 win vs Senegal

Mason Mount came on as a substitute during England's 3-0 win against Senegal to secure the Three Lions' place in the World Cup quarter-finals. England will take on the reigning world champions, France, in the next round after goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka saw Gareth Southgate's side cruise past Senegal.

Mount's place in Southgate's team came into question as fans and pundits alike clamoured for Phil Foden to start ahead of the Chelsea star. Following Foden's impressive performance against Wales in the final Group B fixture, the Blues midfielder found himself on the bench again for the round of 16 clash against the champions of Africa.

There were a number of Chelsea representatives on the pitch last night with Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly lining up for England's opposition. Raheem Sterling has left the England squad due to a 'personal family matter' with reports suggesting his house was broken into whilst he was away in Qatar.
