Batshuayi had only scored one goal prior to his title-winning shot. The striker scored his most recent goal on August 20, and even if his minutes taly doesn't equal having played two games, he ended up being a key member of Chelsea's title-winning team.

Back in July, Michy Batshuayi was set to join Tottenham. They didn’t think he was worth £30m. Today, he wins the league for Chelsea.
