“Everything he has been” – Alan Shearer delivers Mamadou Sarr verdict after Hull City performance
Alan Shearer believes Mamadou Sarr didn’t put a foot wrong in Chelsea’s win against Hull City in the FA Cup fourth round.
The Blues advanced to the FA Cup fifth round with a convincing 4-0 win at the MKM Stadium on Friday evening, and issued the perfect response to the draw against Leeds in midweek.
Pedro Neto stole the show with a hat-trick, whilst Estevao also found the back of the net, and Chelsea had the added bonus of keeping a clean sheet.
Alan Shearer praises Mamadou Sarr performance
As expected Rosenior made a number of changes to the team, which meant a first Chelsea start for Sarr, who made his debut at the Club World Cup last summer.
The Blues recalled Sarr from Strasbourg six months early, and he was in the heart of the Chelsea defence alongside Wesley Fofana.

The Senegal international looked calm and composed, whilst he also displayed his impressive range of passing in an all round good performance.
Rosenior was impressed with Sarr, and Shearer, who was commentating on the game for BBC One has given his verdict.
“Mamadou Sarr has done well,” he said.
“Everything he has been asked to do, he has done it well.”
It will be interesting to see how many opportunities Sarr gets over the remainder of the season, and if he can force his way into Chelsea’s first choice centre back pairing.
Pedro Neto returns to form
Sarr wasn’t the only Chelsea player to impress, with Neto also having a timely return to form after his recent struggles.
