Alvaro Morata sets Chelsea record after 11 matches

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is already making a historical impact at the club he joined only in the summer.

The 24-year-old Spaniard netted one and assisted another in the first stanza of the Premier League game against West Bromwich Albion, meaning the summer signing has contributed 12 goals in 11 matches.

The Spain international striker could be on the path to becoming a club icon at Stamford Bridge if he maintains this early season run of form.

The Chelsea record transfer signing’s brilliant start to the campaign has removed any doubt over his suitability to replace National team compatriot Diego Costa up front of Antonio Conte’s team since his £60 million transfer from Spanish La Liga giant Real Madrid.

After finding the back of the net in the Blues previous victory over rivals Manchester United, the striker continued that good form in Saturday’s match with West Brom.

Alvaro Morata started the goal scoring 17 minutes in when he netted the rebound from a Hazard shot before providing the Belgian later in the half.

The striker has now scored eight goals and made four assists in the English Premier League, meaning the striker has been involved in more goals in his first 11 matches than any player before him at Chelsea.

The former Juventus striker is also on a good run for Spain, having found the net in five in his last four matches.
