Batshuayi denies laughing at Morata after penalty miss against Arsenal

Michy Batshuayi has denied mocking Chelsea team-mate Alvaro Morata, after his penalty miss in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal.

The Belgian striker appeared to be caught smiling by the television cameras, when Morata smashed his spot-kick wide of the post in the shoot-out at Wembley.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also blazed over, as the Gunners converted all four of their penalties to win 4-1 after the game ended in a 1-1 draw in normal time.

It was Morata’s first competitive appearance for the Blues, with the 24-year-old striker replacing Batshuayi as a second-half substitute.

But after accusations that he was mocking his team-mate, Batshuayi took to his Twitter account to deny the claims.

He tweeted: “Wow lol some people really believe I laughed at my teammate and/or us losing ? Sorry to disappoint but I wasnt.”

Chelsea begin the defence of their Premier League title this Satuday against Burnley.
