Chelsea Home-Grown Talents Are Shining Under Thomas Tuchel

When Thomas Tuchel came to Stamford Bridge in January, there were fears for the future of home-grown Chelsea players who got their break under former coach Frank Lampard.

Mason Mount was dropped to the bench in Tuchel’s first game. But he quickly persuaded Tuchel of his quality and on Saturday, in his first league start in a month after an injury, he bagged a hat trick in the 7-0 demolition of Norwich City.
