The quality of Thomas Tuchel’s attack proved the difference against the Eagles. Former Palace loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek handed the Blues the lead midway through the second half with a thumping half-volley. Mount then collected Timo Werner’s pass and guided a strike beyond Jack Butland. The win sets up a Wembley final against Liverpool - a repeat of February’s EFL Cup showdown. And Mount has urged his colleagues to seek ‘payback’ for the Reds' penalty shootout victory in that clash.
