'Michy plays, Michy scores' - Chelsea fans delighted with Batshayi's international impact

Michy Batshuayi is again on the scoresheet for his national side.

The Belgium striker has scored the opening goal in his nations' European qualifier against Kazakhstan to give the Red Devils a 1-0 half time lead.

Batshuayi finished off a nice team move from the nation raked as the second best in the world, by putting a cross from Leicester midfielder Dennis Praet past the opposition's goalkeeper at the back post.

The striker has found game time hard to come by under Frank Lampard so far this season, and has not been yet been named in the starting lineup for a Premier League match, with young striker Tammy Abraham establishing himself as the Chelsea boss' first choice striker this season.

However, Batshuayi has recently found himself coming onto the pitch as a second half substitute, and he scored his first Premier League goal of the season by netting the Blues' final goal in their 4-1 win over Southampton before the international break.

The 26-year-old has 22 goals in 59 appearances for Chelsea and has a equally impressive recent record for his national team.

His goal against Kazakhstan was his 16th for his country and his fourth goal in six games in a Balgium shirt.

After the Chelsea man found the net, Blues' fans took to social media to give their reaction.

Following the game, Batshuayi will return to Stamford Bridge ahead of the Premier League game against Newcastle.
