EPL 2018/19: 5 things that have caught us by surprise

#5 Morata's upturn in form

Morata is getting back to his best

Alvaro Morata is no Karim Benzema. He was going to start firing again after a horrendous spell in front of goal. But such was his dramatic fall from grace that few gave him a chance and the Spaniard, somehow, is finding his feet again.

A return of five goals in eight starts is an encouraging return for a player who's on the road to resurrection. But four of those goals have come in the last five games alone, which is a testament to his renaissance too. Also, he had scored the winner in Chelsea's home game in Europa League to MOL Vidi.

Morata is regaining his confidence and slowly climbing his back into the limelight. He must also be credited for trying relentlessly even though nothing was breaking for him while his place in the team was in a precarious position too. However, the recent upturn in form has sparked life in Morata again, and he must build on this momentum to secure his future at Chelsea.
