Mason Mount was unsurprised by Billy Gilmour's starring role in Scotland's goalless Euro 2020 draw with England, insisting his Chelsea team-mate continues to swim rather than sink on the big stage.

Gilmour was named man of the match as Scotland left Wembley with a well-deserved 0-0 draw to keep alive their hopes of qualifying from Group D.

The 20-year-old was left out of the side as Steve Clarke's men lost their opener to the Czech Republic but was entrusted in the midfield against England, making his full senior debut in combative conditions.

Gilmour started just three Premier League games for Chelsea last season and picked up a Champions League winner's medal as an unused substitute in the win over Manchester City.

His display against England earned him rave reviews but, for club-mate Mount, there was nothing unexpected by Gilmour's performance.

'He didn't surprise me, I know what he is like as a player,' said Mount. 'We had a good battle and agen slot online every time he plays he seems to get man of the match - he has done it the few times he played at Chelsea.
