You can see Chelsea started to get fatigued.
Maybe the game midweek might have taken a little bit out of their legs as well.
But Maddison, as Ashley said, come to life second half.
And he started to run the game.
And they were just a better team second half.
What about the character they showed?
Typified, I suppose, Graham, by Ndidi.
But do you think that's a dangerous tactic early on here at Stamford Bridge?
But before we move on, quickly, actually, does that goal from Chelsea typify the type of football that Frank Lampard wants to see here, playing on the front foot?
I think so, yeah.
I think, you know, you see Mason kind of make that action in terms of pressing a lot this season.
The same with Pedro and whether it's Willian or now Pulisic, who see Mason as a trigger.
As soon as their midfielder receives the ball, they're already looking to press.
And Mason's got their legs to do it.
And today he played well in that kind of role of reading the game and understanding when to go.
There were question marks last week about Mason.
I listen to people saying, oh, well, is he ready for it?
He's ready.
He showed that today.
And what he gives Chelsea, which they haven't really got in their team, is a goal threat.
