Michy Batshuayi denies claims against Alvaro Morata

Michy Batshuayi has denied the claims charged toward him that he laughed at Alvaro Morata when the new signing missed a penalty in the Community Shield loss to Arsenal.

The Club record signing came in as a substitute in the 74th minute second half of the encounter but couldn’t help his team to hold the lead after Pedro was given a matching order by the referee for a foul on Mohamed Elneny.

A brilliant goal from Arsenal new signing Sead kolasinac in the 82nd minute of the game ensured the game ended 1:1 in the regulation time before the game went on penalties.

Batshuayi has taken to Twitter himself to refute the claims and put the record straight over the accusations made at him.


The Belgian got the nod to start the game at Wembley yesterday after an impressive pre-season out in the Far East with the Blues.

The former Real Madrid striker is still trying to find his feet and first goal for the club following his big-money move from Real Madrid, and Conte explained what more the Spaniard has to do.

"Morata needs to work but that is normal. He is with us for just one week and it's very important to find his condition and for him to understand our football.

"He needs a bit of time, but that's normal, it's the same for Rudiger and Bakayoko."

Chelsea will play Burnley in their Premier League opener at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Okowa stated this on Sunday during an inter-denominational anniversary thanksgiving service to mark the 26th years of the creation of the state at the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Asaba, the state capital. Okowa said, “We must be cautious of the statement we make because, the unity of this country is what all of us must work to sustain; we must learn to partner ourselves and engage in actions that will deepen our love for one another. “We thank God for the return of Mr. President to the country, death is not a thing that one can wish any...

Virgin Australia plane forced to land in Bali over fears of a hijack

A Virgin Australia plane (pictured above after it landed in Bali) was forced to land on the island of  Bali over fears of a possible hijack. Initially reports said the plane, which was flying from Australia and carrying 150 passengers, was being hijacked, but it was later found to be an aggressive drunk passenger who was trying to force his way into the cockpit. The pilot sent a distress signal to airport authorities and the plane was cleared to land in Bali so the situation could be dealt with. BBC reports that immediately the plane landed, the drunk passenger, who had been overpowered by the crew and handcuffed him, was arrested at the airport. Virgin Australia told ABC News that there has been a medical emergency aboard the plane but everything had been settled though the aircraft still remains on the tarmac at Bali’s Denpasar airport.
