WATCH: Fans catch Giroud gesture to Morata after stunning Chelsea miss

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata produced one of he misses of the season in victory at Burnley last night.

The 25-year-old, who joined the Blues last summer for £65million, threw away the chance to put his side ahead at Turf Moor.

With the scores locked at 1-1, Morata had the chance to become a hero after being put through on goal by N'Golo Kante.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus striker looked confident as he brushed off a challenge from Kevin Long, before racing towards goalkeeper Nick Pope. But he lost his composure and sent his close range effort wide of the woodwork.

Significantly, Olivier Giroud quickly approached Morata and ruffled his hair in an effort to pick up his teammate in the immediate aftermath.
