Kurt Zouma has mockingly apologised to Manchester United forward Anthony Martial for preventing him from scoring against Chelsea on Monday night.
Zouma was restored to the Chelsea starting line-up for the Premier League clash at Old Trafford, and put in a superb showing alongside John Terry - impressing throughout the game.
However, one moment in the second half demonstrated just why Zouma has become a key player for Chelsea after the 21-year-old delivered a well-timed tackle that stopped Martial - who was a constant menace for United - from running through on goal.
And, after his impressive work, alongside the rest of his defensive colleagues, helped the Blues walk away from the clash with a point, Zouma took to Instagram to light-heartedly say sorry to Martial for the tackle.
"Very Tough game today, good point.. let's keep it up...Sorry my bro @martial_9 well played," he wrote on the social media site.
Despite earning a hard-fought draw against Louis van Gaal's United side on Monday, Chelsea remain just three points above the relegation zone in 14th place.
The champions now travel to face London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, with Alan Pardew's side coming into the game having drawn 0-0 with Swansea City at the weekend.
