The Blues boss saw his 20-year-old midfielder grab his second goal in two games as his team won their first match of the season
Frank Lampard believes Mason Mount deserves to view himself as a bona fide Chelsea player after scoring in a second successive Premier League match.
"I spoke to Mason yesterday and asked him if he felt like he was a Chelsea player yet because it is important," the Blues boss said after Saturday's win at Carrow Road.
"He just sort of smiled. He's a confident boy, in a really nice way. He's got a humility and a work ethic, but he smiled and we had a laugh.
"I didn't really get a clear answer but he should feel like [a Chelsea player] if he plays like he is at the moment.
The mood will be brighter at Stamford Bridge now Lampard has secured his first victory, a result inspired by Tammy Abraham's decisive brace.
"We want to win games, I want to stay in contention. I didn't want a slow start," the Blues boss said.
"We had a tough start and I have got to say I am happy with a lot of the performances, but you can't shout that too loudly if you aren't winning games.
"So it changes it for me, today. I am very happy. It gives me more determination to work."
Chelsea have a week to prepare for their next game away to Sheffield United, which should give Mount time to recover from a minor injury he suffered late in proceedings.
"Mason took a knock to his calf, so that is better than a strain, obviously," Lampard said.
"Hopefully in a couple of days it will settle down, so hopefully that is good news. We will assess it."
