Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount says coaching staff honoured Christian Pulisic after his hat-trick against Burnley by playing the American national anthem!

Pulisic, 21, became the second ever American to score a Premier League hat-trick and Chelsea made sure they celebrated in style on the journey back home.

Mount revealed to the BBC: "We went from the stadium to the airport so we were on the coach and the first thing that happened was Jody Morris put the American national anthem on.

"Everyone sat down and that was the first thing that came on."
