Agony for Mason Mount as Chelsea ace misses crucial penalty and has now lost all SIX Wembley finals he has played in
MASON MOUNT missed a crucial penalty in Chelsea's FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool - condemning him to a SIXTH consecutive Wembley final defeat.
The Blues star stepped up and missed his sudden death spot-kick in the penalty shootout, before Liverpool ace Konstantinos Tsimikas wrapped the game up.
It means the England and Chelsea ace has now lost SIX consecutive finals at Wembley in his professional career.
Mount's bad luck at the national team's stadium started back in 2019 during his loan spell at Derby.
The 23-year-old was playing under Frank Lampard at the time but lost to Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final.
He then followed it up with back-to-back FA Cup defeats for Chelsea in 2020 and 2021.

Mount - who has brutally been branded a 'bottle job' by trolls online - then suffered heartbreak with England, who were penalties away from their first major trophy since 1966, but they were toppled by Italy in the final of Euro 2020.
And this season, back-to-back losses to Liverpool on penalties in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup added more insult to injury for the Chelsea fan.
Mount's bad luck is leading to some fans believing the midfielder is "cursed".
One fan said on Twitter: "Mason Mount is really cursed at Wembley."
