Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez was seen taunting Mason Mount after his side's late comeback win against Manchester United. <br/><br/>On Thursday night, the Blues scored two goals deep into added time to turn the game on its head and claim a 4-3 victory over their rivals at Stamford Bridge. <br/><br/>United were leading the game up until the 99th minute before Mauricio Pochettino's side struck twice late on - making it the latest comeback in league history.<br/><br/>Mount, who made his return from a calf injury last month, was making his first appearance in west London since leaving to join United for £60m in the summer. <br/><br/>It was clear that there was a degree of resentment towards Mount - who came through Chelsea's academy and made 195 appearances for the first team - as players and fans alike made their feelings known. <br/><br/>In a video that emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez could be seen taunting the United midfielder after the final whistle. <br/><br/>A clip showed the Argentine, during his immediate post-match celebrations, turning towards Mount and smacking the Chelsea badge on his chest. <br/><br/>He also appeared to say something to the midfielder, though it remains unclear as to what was said. <br/><br/>Moreover, during the game, Fernandez was seen clashing with Mount - with fans suggesting he was trying to 'trigger a reaction' from the United midfielder. <br/><br/>In a separate clip, Fernandez can be seen kicking the ball at Mount with the two players going head-to-head before eventually being separated. <br/><br/>As Mount walked away, he appeared to yell something in the direction of the 2022 World Cup winner as tempers began to boil over.<br/><br/>Interestingly, Mount and Fernandez were teammates for half of the 2022-23 season - after the latter's arrival during the January transfer window. <br/><br/>Earlier in the game, TNT Sports cameras caught the moment when a Chelsea fan lifted a 2021-22 edition of their home shirt which read 'JUDAS 19'.<br/><br/>Though Mount wears the number 7 for United, during his Chelsea days, he wore the number 19 - making it a clear reference by the home supporters. <br/><br/>The 25-year-old came on as a late substitute in the match - when United were leading the match - and was met by a chorus of boos from home supporters. <br/><br/>It was a night to forget for Mount, who spent four full seasons at Chelsea, as he watched his side capitulate deep into added time at Stamford Bridge. <br/><br/>Erik ten Hag's side showed brilliant powers of recovery to lead in west London in the closing stages, having gone behind to two early goals by the Blues. <br/><br/>But with the finish line in sight, Diogo Dalot conceded a late penalty, which was dispatched by Cole Palmer, before the visitors switched off and allowed the former Manchester City winger to complete his hat-trick from a quickly-taken corner. <br/><br/>The winger's three-goal haul on the night brought Palmer joint-second in the race for the Golden Boot with 16 goals, just two behind Erling Haaland.
