An explanation for Mason Mount getting angry with Saul Niguez during Chelsea’s win over Burnley has been provided.
Chelsea faced off with Sean Dyche’s side at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon. The Blues headed into the clash as favourites, and would eventually come away with a 4-0 victory.
The two sides headed in at the break with the score still at 0-0. However, Reece James opened the scoring two minutes after the restart before Kai Havertz put the game beyond Burnley with a quick-fire brace.

Why Mason Mount got angry with Saul
It was not all positive for Chelsea on Saturday, however, with Mason Mount letting his frustrations be known with Saul Niguez.
The Spaniard was introduced for N’Golo Kante during the tie, but did little to endear himself to the Chelsea faithful, nor his teammates.
As explained by football.london, Mount, for one, was angered by Saul’s failure to offer an overlapping run after the England international had drawn two Burnley defenders towards himself.
Of course, this is not the biggest issue for Chelsea, who won the tie 4-0, but after impressing versus Luton in midweek, Saul’s stock in the eyes of the Pensioners faithful has once again dropped.
What’s next for Chelsea?
Chelsea will be back in action in just a few days’ time, facing off with Norwich on Thursday the 10th of March.
Another Blues win on the day, as things stand, looks likely, with the Canaries sitting dead bottom of the Premier League with the second-worst defensive record in the division.
