Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel expresses sympathy and hails Mason Mount after Norwich win

And, on Mount, he added: “No matter how satisfied the coach is, the offensive guys need goals to be fully happy.

“He waited too long, so it was good that he got some goals today.

“I think it’s a process. We’re still in between international breaks.

“I think it’s normal [for players to be tired]. I agree today that Mason looked fresh and it was good to put him on the pitch. We have to be careful with these players who play important roles in their national teams in important competitions.”

Mount, meanwhile, admitted it was a ‘big moment’ for him to clock up his first Chelsea hat-trick.

“Before the game I put pressure on myself to get on the scoresheet, then three came around in the same game,” he said.
