Chelsea loanee Batshuayi match-winner for BVB with second-half brace

Michy Batshuayi scored twice to help Borussia Dortmund complete a come-from-behind 3-2 over Atalanta in their Europa League last-32 first leg tie.

The Chelsea striker, on loan with BVB until the end of the season, has now scored 5 goals in 3 appearances since joining on deadline day. He has also provided one assist.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who Batshuayi replaced at the Westfalenstadion after he joined Arsenal last month, took seven matches to reach five goals.

Josip Illic's early second-half brace cancelled out Andre Schurrle's opener and handed the visitors a surprise lead.

Then up popped that man Batshuayi. The Belgian scoring on the 65th minute mark and one minute into stoppage time to cap off a remarkable Dortmund comeback.
