Premier League 2018-19, Chelsea vs Bournemouth 2-0: 5 Talking Points

#5 Alvaro Morata continues to frustrate

Alvaro Morata looks destined to follow in the footsteps of Fernando Torres, Mateja Kezman and Andriy Shevchenko

A reversal of fortunes was on the cards for Alvaro Morata after his sharp finish against Arsenal, but Chelsea's centre-forward severely disappointed in his subsequent outings against Newcastle and Bournemouth.

Morata was largely peripheral on Saturday, even though his side enjoyed 73% of the ball before making way for Olivier Giroud.

Chelsea's lack of a reliable goalscorer was one of the reasons why they didn't secure Champions League qualification last season, and Blues may need to buy a striker in January if they want to break into the top for and make a run at the Europa League.
