Chelsea striker Batshuayi delighted with his Belgium brace

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi was delighted with his double in Belgium's win over Iceland.

Despite his problems at Valencia, Batshuayi was in good spirits after last night's triumph.

"It was a difficult game," he said. "They played very defensively, but we continued to attack.

"I also listened to the instructions of the trainer and just continued until the end."

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez also stated: "In the first half he experienced some setbacks.

"He moved well with the opening goal. I'm glad he scored twice, but he also played a good game."
