Morata: Chelsea suffered together at Tottenham

The Blues striker was pleased with the spirit on show in his first start for the club, as they won all three points against the run of play

Alvaro Morata has hailed a great defensive display as Chelsea were dominated but still ran out as 2-1 winners against Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.

Marcos Alonso's brace cancelled out a Michy Batshuayi own goal as Morata won in his first start since his £68 million move from Real Madrid earlier in the summer.

Spurs had twice as many shots as Chelsea and 67.5 per cent possession against their rivals but the 24-year-old frontman hailed the fight shown by Antonio Conte's side.
