Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount expressed sympathy for former teammate Fikayo Tomori after the AC Milan defender was shown a red card in their Champions League game on Tuesday.Tomori, who joined Milan from the London club in June last year, conceded a 17th-minute penalty and was sent off after fouling Mount. Jorginho converted from the spot before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored to earn Chelsea a 2-0 victory at the San Siro.
"He's obviously my mate, I've known 'Fik' for a very long time and I felt for him in that situation, I was gutted for him," Mount told Chelsea's website.
"I don't think it was a sending-off. Was it a penalty? Maybe yes. I'm an honest player and I want to try to score a goal and he pulled me back a little bit but I feel for him for that decision. It was hard to see him get sent off."
Chelsea travel to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
