Chelsea v Burnley - Premier League
Morata has now scored thrice on his debut - Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea

Alvaro Morata came off the bench to score a goal and assisted another but it still wasn't enough for the Blues who lost to Burnley 2-3 and ended the game with 9 men on the field.

As soon as he was introduced, the Spaniard made an immediate impact by scoring a diving header to give Chelsea a goal.

He had a great sense of mind when he flicked the ball with his head that set up David Luiz who comfortably scored the second goal.

Chelsea became the second reigning team to lose on the opening day (Leicester City were the first). Morata also lost his 52-game unbeaten streak in league matches which he featured in.

Antonio Conte could be tempted to start the next game with Morata up front as Michy Batshuayi failed to make an impact while on the field.

Chelsea fans will be hoping that the Spaniard can keep up his form for the rest of the season.
