Chelsea midfielder Mount: We're all behind Kepa

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount insists the players are fully behind Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spanish goalkeeper dropped another howler in defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

Mount, however, insists: “We know that Kepa is an experienced goalkeeper, he will look at it and he knows where he needs to look at it and improve but we are all going to be behind him.

“We all make mistakes, I make mistakes, I give the ball away but it's just in their half and I can give the ball away and it's different when it's the back four.

“But as I said, we are all behind him, we all support him and it doesn't matter because now we need to look towards the next game now."

On the defeat, he added: “We've got quite a few new players coming in and, as I said, it takes time sometimes to gel and we know it's going to take a couple of games to understand each other and understand the way other people play.

“But when we get our full rhythm, I think we'll be firing and we'll be scoring goals and hopefully get as many three points as we can.

“For me, if I look at the team we want to do better. We don't want to accept fourth place, we want to push to the top. I think we can do that with the team that we've got, as I said.

"We just need to keep getting better and better and hopefully we can do that."
