Michy Batshuayi rescued Chelsea's Premier League campaign on Saturday - and on Monday he set about trolling any Blues supporters who doubted him, with one particularly brilliant reply.
The Belgian striker was on the bench for the weekend's home fixture against Watford, and was summoned to join the action with Chelsea trailing 2-1 in the second-half - and their title defence hanging by a thread.

To manager Antonio Conte's delight, Batshuayi scored to equalise, before adding a fourth after Cesar Azpilicueta's third to ensure a 4-2 victory, and send Stamford Bridge into raptures.
That was the 24-year-old's seventh goal in 10 Chelsea games this season, and it looks like he's certainly cementing his place as senior player - meaning he doesn't need to take as much stick as he used to.
But one fan still took to Twitter to have a go at the king of social media, who keeps his place at the top of our tweeting hearts despite the emergence of Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy:
Incredibly the turnaround in the Belgian striker's fortunes comes just a week after the Blues were beaten by bottom of the table Crystal Palace, who at the time hadn't scored a goal.

Batshuayi started in the place of the injured Alvaro Morata and his near hour on the pitch wasn't very good at all and led many fans to wish that they'd kept Tammy Abraham at the club this summer and sent Batshuayi out on loan.
Many of them would have changed their mind after the strikes saved Antonio Conte's blushes at the weekend!
Regardless of what you think of him as a player, there's no denying Michy Batshuayi is one of the best footballers on Twitter.
Well played, Michy.
