Michy Batshuayi celebrates his first goal against ArsenalEPABatshuayi found the far post with a curling effort before adding a secondReuters
The Belgian striker – who played second fiddle to Diego Costa last season – curled a beauty inside the far post to make it 2-0 after Willian’s opener.
And he added a second in the second half to leave fans clamouring for him to get more game time.
After his social media antics delighted supporters last season, Batshuayi has plenty of people on his side.
And he was at it again after full-time, jokingly complaining about another disallowed goal – and even having asking FIFA makers to upgrade his ratings for the new games.
He wrote: “Two goals + 1 disallowed (really?!) + 1 assist… was a good day overall.
“Very happy with this start.”

Antonio Conte reveals Alvaro Morata was his No1 transfer target... not Romelu Lukaku
Morata has been signed to replace top scorer Costa and will almost certainly start almost every game if fit.
Conte’s system only allows for one striker so unless Batshuayi wants to fill in out wide his situation looks to have changed little this summer.
And with the former Marseille hitman, 23, desperate to continue his development he may have to leave Stamford Bridge.
