Michy Batshuayi noticed what Jorginho did as he celebrated Chelsea's winner against Ajax

Michy Batshuayi had quite an eventual evening for Chelsea against Ajax.

The Belgium international started the Champions League tie among the substitutes and replaced Tammy Abraham in the 71st minute with the score locked at 0-0.

Not too long after his introduction the striker wasted a decent chance to break the deadlock.

However, he made amends a few minutes later.

Showing great movement inside the area to lose his marker, Batshuayi didn't need to take a touch as he swept home Christian Pulisic's cutback to seal all three points for the Blues.

His late impact means it's six wins in a row across all competitions for the west London outfit as they begin to click into gear under new head coach Frank Lampard.

But there was only one thing on Batshuayi's mind during his celebration - and it wasn't his goal.

Taking to Instagram following the 1-0 win in Amsterdam, the striker seemed to have a rather strange question for Jorginho.

"Can I have my balls back?"

For those not clear about what Batshuayi was referring to, he uploaded the clip of Jorginho grabbing his balls to his Instagram account.

The Italy international made a contribution just as important as Batshuayi's goal.

In fact, before the breakthrough Jorginho made a crucial intervention in his own half as he cut out a pass from former Southampton playmaker Dusan Tadic as the hosts attempted to catch Chelsea on the counter attack.

Read here for how some Chelsea fans reacted on Twitter to Jorginho's 'world class' interception.
