Fresh from scoring his first hat-trick for Chelsea, Alvaro Morata showed off the skills that have made him an instant hit at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard scored a treble at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday as Antonio Conte's side returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Stoke.

Having scored six times in his first seven appearances, Morata has made a lightning quick start to life in England.

And the 24-year-old showed on Instagram why he has become such a marked man by exquisitely controlling a piece of gum on the golf course.

After flicking the gum up with his foot, Morata displayed the predatory instincts that serve him so well in the penalty box by catching it square in his mouth.

Chelsea bought the striker for £70.6million from Real Madrid this summer, and he is already starting to pay-back that fee in front of goal.

Conte's side sit third in the Premier League table, three points behind joint leaders Manchesters City and United.
