Morata has faded away after a bright start

After a brilliant start to the season, Morata has steadily disappeared from the limelight and has not played to the potential he exhibited at Real Madrid.

Brought in for 58 million pounds, it was always going to be a hard job for him to replace Diego Costa in the Chelsea line-up. But one look at his start to the season, and he looked all set to be the transfer of the season. Unfortunately, injuries and a bad run of form put an end to his run.

The Spanish striker has not had an atrocious season so far - with 13 goals and 5 assists to his name. It is just that his impact has diminished over the season after his hamstring injury, and is now not a certain starter at Stamford Bridge.

Morata scored in the quarter-final against Leicester - a classic one-on-one goal - and for a confidence striker like him, this could be just what was required. This last surge from Morata might be what stands between Chelsea and a Top-4 finish this season.
