Ever since his arrival at Stamford Bridge, Alvaro Morata has, by far, failed to replicate his success in the Chelsea shirt. Scoring just 24 goals in 72 appearances for the Blues, Morata has struggled to get going in the English conditions. And, if reports are to be believed, the Spaniard may well be on his way out this month's transfer window, joining AC Milan in a swap deal for Gonzalo Higuain.

But, during Chelsea's FA Cup third-round clash against Nottingham Forest, the 26-year-old silenced his detractors with two crucial goals that paved way for his side's comfortable 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea forward put his side in the front with an easy finish in the 49th minute before doubling their lead in the 59th minute, capitalising on another delicious cross from Callum Hudson-Odoi, with another goal.

For a man who has attracted a lot of criticism for his inconsistent form, Morata fared pretty well in front of the home crowd, getting his name on the scoresheet, not once, but twice to help his side march forward in the FA Cup. But, despite his goals, misfortunes doesn't seem to leave the Spaniard alone.

Though his goals did entice the Stamford Bridge, Morata's howler during the match made him the butt of all jokes on the social media. The football fans were rather unforgiving towards the Spanish footballer after he made an absolute mess of a clear chance at an open goal from 3 yards out. Thankfully for Morata, he was ruled off-side, but the fans just couldn't digest that a professional player could miss from such a position and distance.

The two things morata does best have been displayed in this vid. Being offside and missing a sitter ðð

MORATA! From...

The CHOsen One! No, this is not a mistake. It happened AGAIN!

Hudson-Odoi is single-handedly saving Morata. Wow.

Madrid really robbed Chelsea blind with morata.

Then loaned them another lemon with Kovacic

So Chelsea revenged with courtois.

3 deals , All round sadness

So we have two problematic strikers- Morata and Giroud- and somehow, my club thinks the best thing to do is to get Cavani pic.twitter.com/P5Vc05kJFw

Alvaro Morata scores 2. Still looks Depressed. Ignores Sarri and walks down the Tunnel.

Thank you for some good memories but it's time you leave.

Incredible vision from Morata. Row Z was not even in the frame, yet he still manages to find it. pic.twitter.com/AtvlBsHGQq
