He hammered a shot which hit defender Joachim Andersen before flying into the net. Mount added a crucial second goal just over 10 minutes later and sealed the victory for Chelsea.
He pushed Timo Werner’s ball from the edge of the penalty box past Andersen with his first touch before burying it past goalkeeper Jack Butland with his second.
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will now meet Liverpool at Wembley again in a re-match of the League Cup final, which they lost on penalty kicks in February.
