LONDON --Nobody was talking about Sergio Aguero after Manchester City overcame the loss of the injured forward to claim a 1-0 victory at Chelsea, but you can bet that Alvaro Morata was weighing heavily on the minds of everyone associated with the Stamford Bridge club after he suffered a hamstring injury that forced him off before half-time.
Perhaps, in that one moment, the difference between City and Chelsea's title prospects was summed up; Morata, who scored six times in his first six Premier League games, limped off the pitch, clutching the back of his left leg, 35 minutes into his seventh.
