One Chelsea player was subject to severe criticism following his display against Arsenal.
The defending English champions traveled across London to face Arsenal, with Antonio Conte drafting in Eden Hazard who played in behind summer signing Alvaro Morata.

And the Spaniard failed to convert any of his chances versus Arsenal.
He missed a sitter in the first half, then another effort in the second half and finally in stoppage time.
Naturally, social media was quick to poke fun of his outing. Here's how Twitter reacted:
Batshuayi can't miss these chances Morata keeps missing but you'll be told Morata is better cause his link up play is good
Remember when Chelsea fans were bantering about Lukaku assisting a rival team. Guess what guys, Morata has just done the same. Karma ey 🙃🙃🙃
Morata is basically a defender in 1v1 situations
Morata is missing sitters in every game but no one will say a word because he’s not a Manchester United player.
Having seen plenty of Lukaku, Lacazette and Morata this season, I wouldn't swap any of them for Firmino. Never in a million years.
Meanwhile, over in Spain, former Chelsea hero Diego Costa scored five minutes after coming off the bench.
