Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount admits defeat to Newcastle United was tough to take.

Isaac Hayden struck late on for the only goal of the game.

"It's a tough one to take," the midfielder said. "Even a draw we would have been disappointed with. We had a lot of possession, we created a lot of chances, but when we score no goals we can't say anything.

"They did unbelievable to defend the whole game, making blocks, winning tackles, and in football anything can happen. They then go to the other end of the pitch late on and score.

"We spoke after the game and we thought we gave everything we could. I thought we created loads of chances. In some other games we didn't create as many. We had some shots on target, but when the team are defending that well and that deep it's hard to break them down."
