Morata was quickly trending on Twitter, with Premier League fans enjoying the miss almost as much as his penalty miss against Arsenal in the Community Shield.
Some Chelsea fans were quick to jump to Morata's defence, backing him to find his feet in a Chelsea shirt.
Ahead of the London derby, Morata spoke of his extra motivation following his less-than-impressive recent Wembley outing.
"It is a big motivation for me, [Wembley] is a bad place for me at the moment because I missed a penalty," Morata told Sky Sports this week.
"But I have the opportunity to take this feeling out of my body, my head and all the heads of Chelsea supporters.
"I am very motivated for this game, it is against Tottenham, a very big team."
