Michy Batshuayi's Twitter battles are one of the understated highlights of the season so far.

First, the Chelsea striker put a fan firmly in his place after a NSFW response to his opening game assist against West Ham United. https://twitter.com/mbatshuayi/status/765300200638414850

He even followed up with the same guy after the next Blues game

And, not content with arguing with random Chelsea fans, the Belgian has waged war with gaming giant EA Sports.

The issue in question? His passing rating, of course.

Thankfully for Michy, another popular football-based video game was on hand to cheer him up.

Pro Evolution Soccer, or PES to its friends, thinks Batshuayi is a better passer than the folks at EA seem to.

A considerably better passer, and in fact better than he rates himself.

Adebayo Akinfenwa might be the strongest player on the game for the second year running - something of which he is very proud - but he wasn't too pleased to see his pace stats drop off from year to year. It's nothing a bit of practice can't improve, though. We're looking forward to Batshuayi knuckling down and becoming one of the best virtual footballers on the 2018 edition of the game. https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFIFA/status/776071965077536768 Read more Joe.co.uk Snapchat
