Carabao Cup: Chelsea coach names three Derby County players that played excellently in Chelsea’s 3-2 win

Chelsea’s assistant coach, Gianfranco Zola has identified Derby County stars: Mason Mount, Richard Keogh and Fikayo Tomori, as players that performed excellently following his side’s 3-2 win over the Champions side on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup encounter.

Cesc Fabregas’ first half goal ensured Maurizio Sarri’s men defeated Frank Lampard’s Derby at Stamford Bridge.

Zola, however, said Tomori, Keogh and Mount performances against the hosts were excellent.

Dailymail quoted Zola as saying at post-match said: “He [Tomori] was unlucky with the own goal, but the performance he and [Richard] Keogh put on afterwards was excellent.

“It happens. If he hadn’t touched the ball, [Alvaro] Morata would have scored a goal. He played well.

“Mason Mount played excellent. It looks like they’re in good hands. They’re doing very well for the team. The coaching they’re getting is excellent.”
