Chelsea star receives Bruno Fernandes message after bust-up with Alejandro Garnacho

Bruno Fernandes has sent a four-word message to Chelsea's Pedro Neto following his tense encounter with former Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho. The incident occurred during Chelsea's Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, a match which saw manager Ange Postecoglou unceremoniously sacked by Forest just 17 minutes after the final whistle.

While this was the main talking point across the Premier League this weekend, all eyes at Old Trafford were focused on Garnacho. The 21-year-old Argentine, who left United this summer, was celebrating with his Chelsea teammates at full-time, but his time on the pitch at the City Ground was far from smooth sailing.

Garnacho was substituted after just 45 minutes by Enzo Maresca as part of a triple change. This move ultimately led Chelsea to their victory, but it was a difficult moment for Garnacho to experience.

This came after a heated exchange with Neto, which was caught on camera during the first half of the match.

Now that the dust has settled, Fernandes, who is a teammate of Neto's with Portugal, has reached out to him. In a brief comment on social media, the United captain said: "Chuta que chutas bem."

Translated from Portuguese, this means: "Kick you kick good." His response to Neto's post also included a heart eyes emoji.

Neto was instrumental in Chelsea's 3-0 triumph on Saturday afternoon, scoring a free-kick and setting up Josh Acheampong for the first goal. Reece James sealed the victory in the final moments, earning Chelsea three points, while Postecoglou was dismissed shortly after the final whistle at the City Ground.

TNT Sports pundit Peter Crouch offered his analysis of the Neto and Garnacho incident, stating: "Chelsea were a bit sloppy. Credit to Enzo [Maresca] for making those changes.

"I know Neto was really frustrated with him. He was crossing the ball and not getting on the other side. Neto was really frustrated with him."

Garnacho took to social media after the match. On Instagram, he posted: "Happy for these three important points!" along with blue and white heart emojis on his stories.
