Michy Batshuayi's Late Goal Lifts Chelsea to Win over Atletico Madrid

Michy Batshuayi scored with the last touch of the game to help Chelsea beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Group C of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Wednesday night.

Batshuayi came off the substitutes bench to tap in Marcos Alonso's low cross deep into stoppage time and settle a match looking destined to finish in a 1-1 draw.

Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata had both scored previously to create a stalemate. Griezmann opened the scoring from the penalty spot against the run of play in the first half, after Chelsea centre-back David Luiz tangled with Lucas Hernandez in the box.
