Mount opened the scoring in Seville in some style, netting his first Champions League goal as he turned his marker before drilling the ball into the bottom corner just after the half-hour mark.

The victory was secured in the final moments as Chilwell channelled his inner Fernando Torres to race through, round the goalkeeper and tap home to ensure a fantastic away win for the Blues ahead of next week’s second leg at the same venue.

The England duo were rightly highlighted for two excellent performances after the game but when asked which goal was better, Mount already had his mind made up.

‘My one was better!’ said Mason. ‘But I’m sure Chilly will say his one was.

‘To be fair to him, he showed great composure. I thought he was going to shoot when he was in front of goal but he took it past the goalkeeper really well. It was a very good finish from him and he’ll be buzzing about that. I’m really happy for him to get his first goal and for us to secure a great win.

‘I was pleased to score as well and I’m always working on my finishing. I don’t think you can work on it enough but in training, I’ve been shooting as much as I can because I think that’s part of my game that I can improve on.

‘Scoring more goals is something I want to do, so I’m happy to have got on the scoresheet and most importantly get the win to take into the second leg.’

The Blues head into next week’s second leg in the driving seat now. Mount, however, insists the team cannot believe the job is done and must be prepared for a reaction from Porto.

‘The job is not done and we know that. They are going to come and fight in the second leg and we going to have to be prepared for that and do it all again. We will be ready, that’s for sure.

‘We came into this game 100 per cent focused and prepared, with the commitment to go and win and we managed to do that. We must take that focus and energy into the second leg too.’
