Chelsea ace Mount happy to share England spotlight with Rice

Chelsea ace Mason Mount was delighted to make his England debut alongside West Ham's Declan Rice.

Mount made his England debut as a 67th substitute in Saturday's 4-0 win against Bulgaria. Rice was on the field when his former Chelsea youth team-mate entered the fray.

"We've obviously known each other for a very, very long time and always speaking about maybe that opportunity of playing with each other again," Mount said.

"It's obviously happened today so I went over to him straight away and just said 'well done, we're back on the pitch together', so, yeah, looking forward to the future now."
