Fans poke fun at Mount

Mount was the team's best player in the first half, with some great passes and a big chance created. The former Derby loanee also got a chance to score but dinked the goalkeeper from outside the box.

He did have some poor moments where he volleyed a shot high over the bar from the edge of the box, the clips of which have been gaining traction on Twitter.

In fairness, most of the negative reactions have been from Blues fans, who are still bitter about his departure.

Chelsea fans had expressed rage after a video of him and his dad from the Old Trafford dressing room emerged, and his reaction suggested happiness at his new environment.
