Batshuayi has FIFA on his mind after incredible winning goal

Michy Batshuayi hasn’t had the most satisfying seasons at Chelsea. The striker, who signed for decent money last summer, failed to really challenge Diego Costa across the campaign and hasn’t even started an English Premier League game up to this point.

That hasn’t stopped him persevering and working hard though and he’s always been on the fringes of the team and ready to perform off the bench when asked by Antonio Conte.

He certainly hit the headlines on Friday night. It was, of course, his goal that gave the Blues the win they needed to finally seal the English Premier League title against West Bromwich Albion.

It’s fair to say it was a goal that he, and the Chelsea fans, enjoyed.

Now he’s using it to cheekily wind-up EA Sports, who he’s been interacting with on Twitter all season after he perceived that his rating in FIFA 17 was lower than it should be.

He didn’t waste time after Friday’s match to lobby for him to get an ‘in-form’ card and make it into their ‘Team Of The Week’.

It’s something the creators of the video game have kept in mind of course, replying to the striker in short order.

Chelsea fans agree in their droves and took to Twitter to share in his plea for him to receive the honour!

Some other fans around Twitter are a little more sceptical though and can’t believe the young striker had FIFA on his mind after a huge title win.
