Alvaro Morata Reveals How He Struggled to Cope With Goal Scoring Drought in Maiden Chelsea Campaign

Chelsea striker Álvaro Morata has explained how he struggled to cope with his dip in form last season and that it even caused him to second guess his wife, Alice Campello.

The former Real Madrid star enjoyed a stunning start to life at Stamford Bridge during his maiden season in the Premier League, scoring seven goals in his first seven games.

However, an injury early on in the campaign saw Morata's form take a surprising nosedive. The 25-year-old went on to find the back of the net just eight more times throughout the remainder of the season, finishing the season with a tally of 15 goals in 48 appearances.
