When I fail, I get really angry - Morata apologises for tantrum

Antonio Conte's decision to take off the forward at Burnley prompted a furious response from the Chelsea star, who regrets his outburst

Alvara Morata has apologised for his angry reaction to being substituted in Chelsea's 2-1 Premier League win over Burnley on Thursday.

Morata was taken off with 19 minutes left at Turf Moor, Eden Hazard coming on after being rested ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Southampton.

Blues boss Antonio Conte paired Morata with Olivier Giroud in a rare front two for Chelsea and the duo made life difficult for Sean Dyche's side, whose five-game winning streak came to an end.
