Batshuayi has quickly captured the hearts of the fans of Fenerbahçe, which finally took over the 29-year-old Red Devil from Chelsea at the beginning of September after years of loan spells.
Both in Europe and in the Turkish league, he turned out to be a golden substitute and match winner. In the Europa League he has 3 goals in 4 matches, in the Süper Lig 2 goals in 5 matches.
In the Turkish league, he started last night against Ankaragücü in the starting line-up for the first time. That was only a matter of time, the Belgian-Turkish coach Fuat Capa had told us only last week, when he framed the season start of the Red Devils’ first striker – in the absence of Romelu Lukaku.
What Batshuayi touches seems to turn to gold these days. Because after just 3 minutes he already put the visitors on roses: 0-1. Irfan Can Kahveci took care of the 0-2 half-time score before half an hour. Diego Rossi made it 0-3 in extra time.
Batshuayi was substituted for Joao Pedro after 66 minutes.
With 9 matches played, Fenerbahçe has moved up to 2nd place with 20 points, leader Adana Demirspor has 1 point more, but also has one more match.
