Batshuayi's First Goal  (Sky Sports)

Michy BatshuayiSummer signing Michy Batshuayi endeared himself to Chelsea supporters just two games into his career at the club with his first goal in Saturday's victory at Watford.

With his side trailing to an Etienne Capoue strike, Antonio Conto brought the £33m signing from Marseille on with 17 minutes remaining at Vicarage Road as he sought a route back into the contest.

The 22-year-old Belgium international looked bright and added quality in the final third, and it took him just seven minutes to make his mark, reduce the arrears with a poachers finish.

When an unsighted Heurelho Gomes was unable to gather Eden Hazard's dipping drive, an eager Batshuayi was on hand to rifle the ball home from close range for his maiden goal for his new club.

The strike proved to be the catalyst for Chelsea's revival as Diego Costa completed the turnaround three minutes from time as the Blues maintained their 100 per cent start under Conte in the Premier League.
