Alan Shearer has weighed in on Mamadou Sarr\u2019s competitive Chelsea debut against Hull City tonight, with the Premier League\u2019s all-time record goalscorer rather impressed.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup after a 4-0 win over Liam Rosenior<\/a> and Liam Delap\u2019s former club Hull City.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto was on top form<\/a>, scoring a hat-trick amid all the criticism he\u2019s received recently.<\/p>\n

Liam Delap also silenced some of his doubters<\/a> with an incredible second half performance, laying on three assists for his teammates and holding the ball up brilliantly. <\/p>\n

But they weren\u2019t the only two who impressed, as Mamadou Sarr<\/a> also put in a display to remember.<\/p>\n

Alan Shearer<\/a> was on commentary for Chelsea\u2019s win over Hull City. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the end of the game on BBC One<\/a>, Shearer claims that Mamadou Sarr didn\u2019t put a foot wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cMamadou Sarr has done well. Everything he has been asked to do, he has done it well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamadou Sarr did so well that he even broke a Chelsea<\/a> record for his 98% passing accuracy (completing 101 of 103 passes). This is the highest completion rate by any Chelsea center-back in a single match this season (minimum 60 passes).<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior\u2019s thoughts on Mamadou Sarr\u2019s display<\/p>\n

Liam Rosenior had already worked with Sarr during his time at Strasbourg, so he knew the exact quality the defender possessed. <\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, the Chelsea boss had this to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cMamadou was everything that I expected. I know Mamadou so well. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think the acclimatisation, adaptation process for him hopefully will be faster because he understands the way I want to play, and he already showed that today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarr is set to be a big part of Chelsea\u2019s plans<\/a>, having been added to the Champions League squad.<\/p>\n
