Morata ends 279-day drought with brace at Valladolid
His previous goal came on 27 January for Como. Two strikes at Valladolid end the striker's long wait, now as a Leganés player.
Álvaro Morata scored twice for Leganés at Valladolid and ended a 279-day goal drought. According to MARCA, the Madrid-born forward came on in the 55th minute and needed just over half an hour to make his mark.
His previous goal had come on 27 January, playing for Como against Fiorentina in the Italian Cup. More than nine months later, he is scoring again for Luis Carrión's side: the first with a left-foot shot in the 68th minute, the second in added time.
The result did not go their way. Leganés conceded four goals and showed their defensive fragility again, despite creating chances and finding solutions up front. With the team near the relegation zone, they now need the defence to back Morata up.
