Mason Mount eased the pressure mounting on Frank Lampard by scoring the only goal in a tough, tense west London derby that saw them overcome 10-man Fulham 1-0 at the Cottage tonight.
The 22-year-old midfielder struck a sweet half-volley on 78 minutes to finally break the stoic resistance of the Whites, who had to play the second half with 10 players after referee Peter Banks gave a straight record to Antonee Robinson for lunging late into Cesar Azpilicueta.
