Plymouth boss Schumacher: Mount revealed what Chelsea players thought us

Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher says his players earned the respect of their Chelsea counterparts after Saturday's FA Cup defeat.

Plymouth took the tie to extra-time before losing 2-1 in London - but only after Kepa Arrizabalaga saved a penalty to avoid a shootout.

Schumacher revealed Mount was impressed with how organised Plymouth were on the day.

“I spoke to Mason Mount and a couple of their players who were top class, to be fair, with all of our players," Schumacher said in his post-match press conference.

“I had a little chat with Mount and [he was] very complimentary to how well-organised we were and how we didn't make an easy afternoon for Chelsea.

“So, yeah, [I'm] pleased about that."
