Alvaro Morata Chelsea's main man in life after Diego Costa

Chelsea coasted to an impressive 4-0 win over Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday, with Alvaro Morata showing there's life after Diego Costa.

Morata, assisted twice by Cesar Azpilicueta, plundered his first Blues hat trick in the week Costa finally left for Atletico Madrid. Fellow Spaniard Pedro also found the net as Antonio Conte's side eased through their gears to thrash sorry Stoke.

Positives

Six goals in six Premier League games for Morata tells its own story. Chelsea's record £60 million signing is rapidly repaying his transfer fee.

Negatives

Picky maybe, but there is a streak of ill-discipline that needs to be monitored by Antonio Conte.
