Chelsea midfielder Mount desperate to win FA Cup: It is five finals I have lost

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is desperate to win at Wembley after reaching the FA Cup final.

Chelsea are into the FA Cup final for the fifth time in the last six seasons.

They last won the competition in 2018, but lost to Arsenal in 2020 and Leicester in 2021.

Mount was part of the Chelsea squad for the two recent final defeats and has also been on the losing side at Wembley in the League Cup final - and with England in the Euro 2020 showpiece.

The 23-year-old also lost at the stadium when on loan at Derby County as they were beaten in the Championship play-off final by Aston Villa in 2018-19.

"It is time for us to win a final at Wembley," said Mount.

"It is five finals I have lost so we have to put the pressure on us to step up."
