Once again, a Chelsea star has been loaned out, only to prove doubters wrong. The much maligned and praised Michy Batshuayi has scored two goals on his debut for Borussia Dortmund where he has joined on loan.
Batshuayi was never a favourite of head coach Antonio Conte and struggled to make the first team even when first choice striker Alvaro Morata was injured.
Batshuayi has joined Dortmund until the end of the season, but Dortmund wasted no time in starting him on his debut just after deadline day.
The 24-year-old started against FC Cologne on Friday night and scored his first goal for the Bundesliga club in 34 minutes. He scored his second in the 62nd minute.
And he could have even scored a hat-trick if it weren’t for VAR ruling a goal he scored in the 44th minute offside.
Meanwhile, Dortmund ended up getting the winner from a goal from yet another former Blue Andre Schurrle in the 84th minute making it 3-2.
Here are the best reactions from Chelsea fans following the news.
My batman’s on fire ? Michy Batshuayi. Great debut. I’m happy for you. Keep the fire burning.

What i tell you @ChelseaFC @mbatshuayi needs more game time. 1st game 2 goals 1 assist with @BVB. No faith on these younger players.

Batshuayi will be hoping his form continues to get into the Belgium World Cup team this summer. The Belgian has a contract until June 2018
