Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount hailed the manner of England's Euro 2020 quarterfinal victory over Ukraine.

Gareth Southgate's side returned to set-piece form in the Stadio Olimpico as Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson struck with headers from precise dead-ball deliveries for two of the four goals against outclassed Ukraine.

Mount sent over the corner for Henderson's first international goal and he highlighted the variety in England's game-plans.

The Chelsea midfielder explained: “We showed against Ukraine how we could be very calm on the ball and how we could move the ball and kill teams in different ways. Set-pieces and open play, we are a threat."

And that assurance means Mount and his team-mates are not saddled with any uncertainty from failures of the past.

In fact, they seem to be a little irked by the frequent references to previous eras.

When Mount was told England's record in semi-finals was not great, he responded: “This whole tournament, there has been always talk of what has happened in the past but we have not once looked back at what has happened. We are just looking forward and wanting to create our own history."
