Chelsea striker Morata grateful for Azpilicueta

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is very grateful to his teammate Cesar Azpilicueta.

Morata scored another headed goal for Chelsea in the 2-0 FA Cup semi final win against Southampton. He scored a few minutes after coming on as a sub for Olivier Giroud, who also scored.

Azpilicueta has assisted Morata SEVEN times this season. Seven of the nine headers Morata has scored since joining in the summer are Azpilicueta assists.

"It was a very good match," Morata told Chelsea TV.

"I could have scored another goal at the last moment, I was a little bit unlucky but we are in the final and that's the most important thing, we are happy.

"I always say thanks to Azpi because this year he knows where I want the ball and it's great to have all of the assists from him."
