Chelsea kicked off their US tour with a 2-1 victory against Club America as Kenedy made a rare appearance for Thomas Tuchel's side and Mason Mount scored a ...

Lacked composure in the box throughout his second half cameo and, while enthusiastic, couldn’t time his runs to make the most of the service into him. Keep this up and Thomas Tuchel might end up starting him in that first game of the new Premier League season at Everton and fielding Raheem Sterling as a false nine. Minutes later he would cushion the ball superbly in the centre of the park to gain a few yards and ease away from Pedro Aquino with the minimum of fuss. Poor old Kenedy. Here yet again to make up the numbers at the time of year when you are reminded that he is still a Chelsea player. Among his better moments was the one after just 10 minutes, when he demanded the ball on the right, eased past two players and crossed for Hakim Ziyech who just failed to control the ball for a shot on goal. If anything, probably played it a bit safe when the game in the midfield was there for the taking in the first half.

Chelsea player ratings vs Club America: Mason Mount rescues ... (Evening Standard)

Chelsea kicked off their pre-season tour with a win thanks to Mason Mount's stunning 25-yard strike over Mexican giants Club America.

Otherwise, he did his job competently while out of position in a number six role. The defender almost scored with an edge-of-the-box volley in the 87th minute. In difficult boots to fill, he was assured and recycled possession well. Marcus Bettinelli was involved in the calamitous error for the goal when Reece James's pass found the back of his own net. With Romelu Lukaku gone, the prominence of Havertz will rise. Jurgen Damm on America's right wing caused him problems and his passing often went astray. Conor Gallagher outshone Barkley in similar roles with aggressive defensive actions and the best pass of the game, allowing Kai Havertz in behind the defence but he skied the shot. His impressive free-kick cross did allow Thiago Silva to produce the first shot on target, though. In an awkward number six role out of necessity, Barkley did his job for the team. Still, it felt like a promise of more to come. He was aggressive in his defensive actions but without ever over-exerting himself. He wasn't especially tested so it didn't give him much chance to shine.

However, it wasn't enough to give Chelsea the lead. 14mins: Chelsea are starting to settle into the game now. 26mins: Reyes takes on Kenedy and successfully passes him by to head into the Chelsea box to fire one at goal. 28mins: What a chance for Chelsea! And it all stemmed from Conor Gallgher in the midfield. Chelsea will be eager to return to the pitch for the second half better than the first. This time it was Conor Gallagher who failed to keep hold of the ball around the halfway line. 90+2mins: However, they do little with it and the ball goes out for a Chelsea goal kick. He has won almost all of his 50/50 battles and has been creating chances for Chelsea down the left-hand-side. Reece James scored an own goal to level the scores just four minutes after Timo Werner gave Chelsea the lead. Safe to say he was successful and it was a stunning finish. Safe to say he was successful and it was a stunning finish. However, James worked hard to try and redeem himself by connecting nicely with Mount down the flank.
