Magic Morata hits hat-trick in Chelsea rout
Chelsea romped to a 4-0 win over Stoke City at bet365 Stadium courtesy of a hat-trick from Alvaro Morata.
Alvaro Morata continued his stunning start to life at Chelsea with a hat-trick as the Premier League champion sealed an impressive 4-0 victory away to Stoke City.
Chelsea scored from its only two shots in the first half, Morata putting them in front after just 82 seconds before fellow Spain international Pedro netted his second goal in three games.
Stoke increased the pressure after the break, but former Real Madrid striker Morata doubled his tally with a brilliant solo goal to end home hopes of a revival.
Morata then made it six goals in as many Premier League appearances for Chelsea as he sealed his hat-trick with eight minutes remaining.
Antonio Conte's side remains three points behind the two Manchester clubs at the top of the table as it continues the defence of its title.
Stoke took four points from two home games against Arsenal and Manchester United, but this heavy defeat leaves the Potters with only one win from their opening six fixtures.
