Bruno Fernandes has sent an instant message to Chelsea's Pedro Neto following his on-pitch spat with former Manchester United player Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine youngster was substituted at half-time during Chelsea's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest , which saw manager Ange Postecoglou sacked just 17 minutes after the final whistle .

Despite the drama, all eyes were on Garnacho at Old Trafford. The 21-year-old star celebrated with his Chelsea teammates post-match, but it wasn't smooth sailing for him at the City Ground. Garnacho, who left United this summer, was taken off by Enzo Maresca as part of a triple substitution after just 45 minutes.

That move ultimately led to Chelsea's victory, but it was a bitter pill for Garnacho to swallow, especially after a heated exchange with Neto in the first half that was caught on camera.

Now, with tensions seemingly cooled, Fernandes has reached out to his Portuguese teammate Neto. In a brief comment on social media, the United playmaker wrote: "Chuta que chutas bem."

Translated from Portuguese, that 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 over Forest on Saturday lunchtime, 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 given his marching orders shortly after the final whistle at the City Ground.

Discussing the Neto and Garnacho incident, TNT Sports pundit Peter Crouch commented: "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 has already taken to social media himself after the match. Posting on Instagram , he said: "[I'm] Happy for these three important points!" along with blue and white heart emojis on his stories.
