LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea assistant-coach Carlo Cudicini said Alvaro Morata's two goals in the 2-0 FA Cup third round win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday would "free his mind" after a lean spell for the Spanish striker.

Morata struck twice in the second half and also missed an open goal as the Cup holders eased into the fourth round. They were his first goals in domestic competition for two months.
