Chelsea hero Joe Cole is baffled by the hostility towards Mason Mount.

The Blues midfielder hit a hat-trick in yesterday's 7-0 rout of Norwich City, though Cole accepts he isn't to every fan's liking.

"Mount is becoming one of the most outstanding players in the country," Cole told BT Sport. "Some fans don't like him but I want to sit them down in front of a touchscreen. What he does is unbelievable.

It must be a tribal thing.

"I am yet to meet a player or coach who doesn't think he is outstanding."
