Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata says his goal in victory over Arsenal has handed him a confidence boost.

Morata scored his first Premier League goal since April Fool's Day in the win over Arsenal and he hopes it will signal lift off for his Chelsea career again.

He said: “Yes, when the ball goes into the net everything changes. My mind is not blocked anymore and I hope now I can score lots of goals.

“It's not been a good period for me over the last year. I missed a penalty in a friendly game and seemed like it was the final of the Champions League.

“But I always feel the support and love of Chelsea supporters and it's very important for me to keep working and fighting. It's very important for me to do my best and I keep working to improve and I think this year will be better."
