Mason Mount bagged himself a hat-trick as Derby comfortably beat Bolton 4-0.

Mount's first came shortly before half-time as he netted their second of the game, rounding off a clever one-two with Martyn Waghorn before firing home.

The youngster then headed in from close range in the 55th minute after getting onto the end of a Tom Lawrence cross, while his third came eight minutes from time as he drove home from Ashley Cole's clever pass.

Frank Lampard believes life in the Championship has made Mount a better player.

He said: "He did well in Holland last year, but it's not the competitive nature of the Championship I believe.

Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby and Bolton.

"I think he has developed here this season and there will be some testers for him. The game at Blackburn in midweek was physical, it was a test and it won't always be easy to show the attributes he did today.

"He has to take the rough with the smooth, but I believe he has improved and I also believe there is a lot more to come from him.

"When we had a little break in play I said to him he needs to start turning and facing people up, because people will struggle to deal with his quality, his quick feet, his awareness to play the ball around corners and that's exactly what he did.

"Mason missed two months of the season and that shows he's a boy that's going to score goals and that's important for us. We haven't got the centre-forward that's scoring 25 goals, so we have to contribute from other areas."
