Ian Wright has said on ITV (7:40pm, May 14, 2022) that he is disappointed for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount after the FA Cup final against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

The Arsenal legend and ITV pundit feels sorry for Mount, as Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties in the final of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday.

The FA Cup final finished goalless after extra time, and Liverpool won the penalty shootout 6-5.

England international midfielder Mount saw his spot kick saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, allowing left-back Kostas Tsimikas to subsequently score what proved to be the decisive kick.

In our opinion, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount should be proud of his performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup final.

Yes, the 23-year-old could not score in the penalty shootout, but he was brilliant for Chelsea over 120 minutes.

Mount has lots of energy and did not get tired at all.

The Chelsea star helped to cover in defence and also drove the team forward.
