Chelsea managed to beat Rennes 2-1 in their Champions League Group E clash on Tuesday night.
Frank Lampard’s team took the lead through Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 22nd minute.
The Englishman held on to a glittering ball from Mason Mount and edged past the keeper with ease.
Chelsea appeared to have blown all three points later, with Serhou Guirassy equalizing the process in the 85th minute.
But Olivier Giroud came off the bench to score a brilliant header in injury time to win for Chelsea.
One of the most prominent Chelsea artists in France was Mount.
As mentioned above, he played a delicious pass through for Hudson-Odoi to score and you can watch it below:
That may remind Chelsea fans of a certain Cesc Fabregas.
The Spanish legend played many such passes during his time with the Blues.
And he couldn’t help but praise Mount on Twitter after making the pass, calling him “fantastic.”
Mount would have been very happy to see the praise and responded to Fabregas after the game.
“Thanks wizard, I’ve been watching your assists,” he wrote.
What a nice exchange. It’s good to see that Fabregas is still looking closely at his old club and singing his praises.
Chelsea have already qualified for the knockout rounds and Lampard was happy with his team’s achievement.
“I am very happy to qualify with two games to spare. It was a very tough match, they are a very good team. Their recent form does not reflect how good they are, it was a tough and close victory.” “he said, according to the BBC.
Chelsea will now play Spurs at the weekend.
“We have to prioritize the game that we have in front of us, but we are aware of where we are in the league and that Sunday is a great game,” he said.
“It will always be because of the rivalry and they are a great team and now it’s just about preparing well. They will have a day off tomorrow and then Thursday morning we will start to think about the Spurs correctly.”
