Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is a hot topic of conversation this afternoon after a picture of him on the substitutes bench went viral.

Marko Arnautovic opened the scoring in the sixth minute, giving David Moyes' side an unexpected lead in the first half, but Twitter king Batshuayi was the main topic of conversation during the Premier League tie.

The Belgium international, who has struggled for first team football this season, was rubbing a hot water bottle on his face on the bench which sparked plenty of 'modern day football summed up' comments.

One Twitter user said "Batshuayi taking the term 'bench warmer' seriously" while another suggested "it should be an immediate 50 game ban."

Of course it might be cold out there Michy, but a hot water bottle? What would Roy Keane have to say about this madness.

As you imagine, plenty of people reacted on social media this afternoon:
