Chelsea striker Burstow wins praise from Sunderland boss Mowbray

Chelsea striker Mason Burstow is impressing at loan club Sunderland.

Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray heaped praise on Burstow following their win over Sheffield Wednesday.

"I'm pleased with the work ethic that Mason is bringing to our team, and the fact that he can press from the front really, really well for us," said the 59-year-old. "He's got the energy to keep going.

"He just needs something to break for him and yet he's won the penalty for us tonight.

"It's going to come and like with Jack Clarke, when it does you will see that confidence and that belief just grow. Once he scores one I've got no doubt that he's going to go and score a lot for us."
