Chelsea fans take to Twitter to declare hat-trick Alvaro Morata is an upgrade on forgotten Diego Costa
CHELSEA fans seem to have made it official: Alvaro Morata is better than Diego Costa.
Days after the Premier League winner finally forced his way out of Stamford Bridge in a £58million return to Atletico Madrid, Morata bagged a brilliant hat-trick.
Morata had already scored three headers before the trip to Stoke and Blues fans have been joking he waited for Costa to clear off before he started putting his feet to work.
