Mason Mount was brought on late on during Manchester United’s win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and poked fun at the Blues fans in attendance late on.
Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea side fell to their third consecutive Premier League defeat at home as they lost 1-0 to the Red Devils, slipping further away from the top five in the process.
The Blues hit the post on three occasions, but ultimately didn’t create enough to come out on top again at home.

United fans got on top of Alejandro Garnacho after he was brought on early for the injured Estevao Willian, and they were sent into delirium when Mason Mount entered the fray late on.
After having every touch booed during his cameo appearance, Mount had the last laugh as United left with all three points, and made sure to give some stick back to those in attendance at the same time.

Mount shushed the Chelsea fans late on, with their frustration stretching further than what they were seeing on the pitch.
Blues supporters had made their voices heard as early as 90 minutes before the game to protest the ownership, with reports stating as many as 500 fans were involved.
Previous efforts have fallen on deaf ears, however the poor run of form and perilous position the club find themselves in suggests this one may be taken more seriously.
Chelsea fans are NOT HAPPY

Behdad Eghbali spoke out during the week to address supporter concerns, hinting that they are going to make some changes to the transfer policy when the window opens again.
The co-owner also said that they were fully backing Rosenior, despite his struggles and fans being keen to see him replaced.
Fan backlash is going to continue to come out after this game, and realistically Mount getting his moment of the season is not going to sit high on supporters’ lists of concerns.
