#4 Morata yet again illustrates his 'hot and cold' nature

The Blues tried and tried till the dying stages of the game but just couldn't find a way through. The Toffees had the various passing lanes covered with conviction. One man who could be blamed is, not for the first time, Alvaro Morata.

The Spaniard yet again portrayed his hot and cold nature in front of goal. When he starts to score, he looks smooth, sharp and silky. But along with those well-constructed goals, come a lot of spurned chances.

As mentioned in the previous slides, he missed two sitters. On both occasions, he was played in by Hazard remarkably. But he couldn't quite compose himself and sting an effort into the back of the net.

Apart from his missed chances, the 26-year-old repeatedly hit the ground asking for a penalty. None of them technically were fouls. Sorry, but this is the Premier League. One cannot fall down looking for a spot-kick every single time. This is a physically challenging arena, Morata.
