Batshuayi relieved after breaking Borussia Dortmund dry spell with match-winning double

After scoring two goals from the bench in a thrilling 3-2 victory at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, the on-loan forward said he was relieved

Michy Batshuayi says Peter Stoger was right to drop him despite coming off the bench to score two goals in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Batshuayi came on with Borussia Dortmund 1-0 up thanks to a Marco Russ own goal before Eintracht sparked late drama at Signal Iduna Park.

Luka Jovic headed in Jonathan de Guzman's cross but within two minutes Batshuayi restored the Dortmund lead, slamming in after a one-two with Christian Pulisic.
