Chelsea striker Morata assures Hazard: I can score with my feet!

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has assured teammate Eden Hazard he can score with his feet as well.

All three of Morata's goals this term have been scored with his head, which led to Hazard lightheartedly saying the striker needed to start scoring goals with his feet.

Morata said: "At the moment, I've only scored and assisted with my head for Chelsea, so I hope to use my feet as well soon!

"But it's true that English football is different to Italy and Spain. You don't have much time to calm down, or relax, because all the time the ball is on fire! You need to be in good condition to play here and approach every match with a good mentality.

"In terms of the marking, it is probably the same here as in Italy with the teams that are maybe not at the top of the league – those teams are compact and it's hard for us sometimes to break them down.

"But when the other team wants to play with the ball, you can find space. That's when you find the spaces to attack the other team."
