Mason Mount believes Chelsea are 'going in the right direction' under Graham Potter after their Champions League win against AC Milan.

The 23-year-old played a key role in the Blues' victory at the San Siro, with the west London side winning 2-0 away from home.

Mount was fouled by former teammate Fikayo Tomori early on in the first half, with the Milan defender being sent off for his challenge inside the area.

Jorginho scored the subsequent penalty before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted soon after, his third goal for the club.

Such a win against the reigning Serie A Champions means Chelsea are now top of Group E in the Champions League, overtaking FC Salzburg after their draw against Dinamo Zagreb.

It was also their fourth consecutive victory across all competitions, and their third clean sheet in a row.

Potter arrived as the Blues' head coach at the beginning of September, with the 47-year-old still unbeaten during his time at Stamford Bridge.

After the win against Milan, Mount was quick to praise his new boss and revealed what it has been like to work under him so far.

Speaking to BT Sport, he said: "It's been brilliant.

"You can see the way we play. We've been attacking, a big threat going forward. Solid at the back and built from the back. We're going in the right direction, hopefully that continues."

He also commented on his own personal form for the club, having provided three assists in his last two games.

"I feel good, I'm enjoying it and we're playing well and scoring goals," said the England international.

"That's the most important thing. Hopefully next I get a goal because it's been coming, I just haven't finished it off yet, but I'll take the assists."

Since Potter joined the club, Chelsea have scored 11 goals and conceded just two in five games.

The former Brighton coach first took charge when they faced FC Salzburg at home, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.

He was soon in the dugout for the west London outfit in the Premier League when they travelled to Crystal Palace as Conor Gallagher scored a late winner to seal all three points.

Milan would visit Stamford Bridge for their first encounter in the Champions League, with Potter's side claiming a huge 3-0 win before repeating the scoreline against Wolves at home a few days later.

Aston Villa are Chelsea's next opponents, with the Blues showing a lot of confidence thanks to recent results.
