- Chelsea lost the Community Shield as they were defeated in a penalty shootout
- A clip emerged on social media which suggested Michy Batshuayi was laughing
- The striker insisted it was not the case and responded to people on Twitter
- And it was later revealed it took place during Sunday's trophy presentation
Michy Batshuayi has denied claims he laughed at Alvaro Morata during Chelsea's Community Shield penalty loss.
The forward was filmed laughing and smiling as Chelsea players, including £70million summer signing Morata, stood around in a clip that was widely shared on social media.
There were suggestions that it came after the Spain international missed one of Chelsea's spot kicks during the shoot out as Arsenal won the Community Shield, that were later proved to be unfounded.
With Morata in direct competition with Batshuayi for a place in the starting line-up, some fans seemed to think he was happy at his misfortune.
But it has since been clarified that Batshuayi's actions came during the trophy presentation after the game, while the 23-year-old was keen to dis-spell suggestions he enjoyed Morata's miss.
The Belgian striker wrote on Twitter: 'Wow lol some people really believe I laughed at my teammate and/or us losing ? Sorry to disappoint but I wasnt.
'Im enjoying every goal for us scored by anyone in the team, thats the only thing you have to know. have a blessed day (sic)'.
The striker - seen celebrating after Victor Moses scored - said he wanted the team to do well
