Antonio Conte knows he’s signed a gem. While few around Stamford Bridge are talking about Diego Costa any more, Alvaro Morata is in town and he scores goals.
The former Real Madrid striker hit a brilliant hat-trick as Chelsea beat Stoke 0-4 to stay within touching distance of the Premier League leaders.
Stoke City 0-4 Chelsea
Mobile betting players have been watching the two Manchester clubs in recent weeks as they set the pace at the top of the league. But it’d be wise to keep an eye on Chelsea’s betting odds on this evidence, as the Blues won easily at Stoke, a feat in itself. Pedro scored a smart goal to add to Morata’s fantastic three.
Manchester City 5-0 Crystal Palace
Chelsea’s exploits won’t worry City too much if they carry on like this. With 20 goals in the last four games, they are on some run. And this thrashing is a harsh message to pointless Palace, as Raheem Sterling scored two and the home side managed to bulge the net five times without Gabriel Jesus scoring!
Southampton 0-1 Manchester United
The Red Devils are level on points with City but falling behind in terms of goals and Jose Mourinho will be worried by the way his team was hanging on in the second half after Romelu Lukaku had given him a half-time lead; so worried in fact that he was sent to the stands for an outburst.
Leicester City 2-3 Liverpool
On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp was all smiles as Philippe Coutinho stole the show to inspire Liverpool to an entertaining win at Leicester. The Brazilian star scored one and crossed brilliantly for Mo Salah to add another. The Foxes could have snatched a draw had Jamie Vardy scored his late penalty chance.
West Ham United 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur
And it was the same score and pattern as Spurs won at West Ham to stay fourth. Harry Kane scored a first half brace but Mauricio Pochettino’s men were left defending a narrow lead after the Hammers roared back in the second half.
Everton 2-1 Bournemouth
There were sighs of relief all round at Goodison Park after Oumar Niasse scored a late winner as the Toffees came back from a goal behind to beat Bournemouth. The win pulls Everton away from the drop zone but leaves the Cherries second bottom.
Swansea City 1-2 Watford
Andre Gray scored his first goal for the Hornets after his £18m summer move from Burnley and that set the visitors on course for a win. But it took a 90th minute winner from Richarlison to grab the points after Tammy Abraham had equalised earlier.
Burnley 0-0 Huddersfield Town
Chris Wood came the closest to scoring in this cross-Pennine tussle but glanced a header wide when the home crowd expected to net to bulge. The Terriers battled hard and deserved a point, which leaves both teams on nine.
Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Newcastle United
It is back-to-back home wins for Brighton in their first season in the Premier League. The Seagulls are up to 13th after Hemed hooked home brilliantly early in the second half. Brighton pressed for a second but were biting their nails as Jonjo Shelvey came close to levelling for Newcastle.
