Chelsea Fans Take to Twitter to Offer Contrasting Views on Strikers Àlvaro Morata & Olivier Giroud

Chelsea fans took to Twitter after their 2-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, offering contrasting views on the performances of their two leading strikers: Álvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud.

Morata incurred the wrath of a number of Blues fans after his late cameo appearance for Antonio Conte's side - as he picked up a booking following a heated altercation with Palace defender James Tomkins. The Spaniard then risked further retribution for sarcastically applauding the referee, before slapping the flag out of a linesman's hand later in the game.

Perhaps understandably, the Chelsea fans were less than impressed with the actions of their £58m record signing.
