Alvaro Morata's 2018 didn't get off to the best start but the Spaniard finally broke his goalscoring duck on Sunday by putting Chelsea ahead against Leicester in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

With a place at Wembley at stake it was a big game for all involved and Leicester looked to take advantage of Chelsea's low morale following their Champions League exit to Barcelona early on as they had the better of things.

However, it only takes a momentary loss of concentration and the Premier League champions can pick you apart, as the 'Foxes' discovered just before half-time.

Willian picked the ball up in midfield following a failed Leicester counter and burst into space before releasing Morata with the perfect through ball.

The pass was perfect for the Real Madrid man who took it in his stride before curling past Kasper Schmeichel in the home goal with aplomb.
