In the 21st minute of tonight’s Champions League tie against Rennes, Callum Hudson-Odoi fired Chelsea into the lead after some brilliant work by Mason Mount.
Mount wrestled the ball off Jeremy Doku in the Blues’ defensive third before driving forward, the ace – who comes under far too much unwarranted criticism – then drove the ball forward.
Mount looked up and played the ball over the top and into Hudson-Odoi’s path, the winger showed brilliant composure as he bared down on goal before slotting the ball into the back of the net.

Chelsea would’ve had the lead in the opening minutes if it wasn’t for an uncharacteristic miss from Timo Werner from just a couple of yards out.
