Chelsea Under-23s at Reading: three stand-out performers

Chelsea’s development side lost 2-1 at Reading on Monday evening – their first defeat of the season.

A number of Blues youngsters again showed potential, though. Here are three who caught the eye. [phone]

Mason Mount

Involved in much of the action before going off 15 minutes from the end. The midfielder rattled the woodwork with one effort and saw a couple of others well saved.

Ike Ugbo

Showed his finishing ability by scoring with a close-range header to put Chelsea ahead. His pace and movement caused the opposing defence problems and so far the striker has looked the part since stepping up from Under-18 level.

Charlie Wakefield

Delivered the cross for Ugbo to score and was generally neat and tidy. Finds space well and can pick a pass.
