Mount lays out personal challenge amid Chelsea's race for top 4

Mount feels Chelsea must keep pushing in the race for the top 4, the Blues have been on a solid run of form lately, the midfielder states.

Mount says the game plan against Liverpool was to press them high and be brave and the 22-year-old adds he's happy with his performances.

"Where the season is at the moment it is very tight in the top four, we are in and around and we want to keep pushing," Mason Mount told Sky Sports after the game.

"We have been on a good run recently, we have been keeping clean sheets but not scoring enough. It was very good to score tonight.

"The game plan was to press them high and not let them have the ball. We had to be brave and try and win the ball up high. Most of the time they defend high and that is where the goal came from. "

"Massive win. Every game now is a big win, we need to get as many three points as we can. We have the team to do it, we want to keep going.

"I just try to give my best performance wise if I am starting or coming off the bench. I feel like everyone has been really together. I am obviously happy, I am happy to get a goal today. I want to score more."

Mount has been instrumental under Thomas Tuchel - his winner against Liverpool on Thursday night making him the highest scorer under the new manager at Chelsea.

The win over the Reds saw Chelsea move back into the top 4, with 11 games to go in the season.
