Fulham poked fun at Chelsea in a hilarious Twitter exchange after the Blues called on social media users to 'Reply with a better RB' than Reece James.

It came after the two west London sides played out a 0-0 stalemate at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.

It was a good day for right-backs, with James returning from injury in a major boost to Graham Potter, while Fulham's Kenny Tete was awarded Man of the Match for this impressive display.

The Dutchman topped the rankings for duels won (10), crosses (seven) and fouls won (four).

In fact his performance was so impressive that £88million Mykhailo Mudryk, who was playing on the left wing, was substituted by Graham Potter at half-time.

Fit-again James felt like another new signing for Chelsea with a strong display, and during the first-half the Chelsea Twitter channel was full of praise for him.

The club tweeted: 'Reply with a better RB' along with a king emoji.

But still on the buzz of a well-earned point, Fulham replied on Saturday morning simply with a picture of Tete holding his Man of the Match award.

They later added: 'You come at the King, you best not miss.'

The two sides met just three weeks after facing each other at Craven Cottage - a match which Fulham came out on top 2-1 and new signing Joao Felix was sent off on his debut.

In fact, after that contest, Fulham were also on good social media form, tweeting '#AdiosJoao' in a dig to when Chelsea used Spanish to welcome to Portuguese star.

But with neither side able to find a goal on Friday, Fulham are now sixth in the table, while Chelsea are floundering in ninth.

It was a better point for Marco Silva's in-form side who came up against a Chelsea side fuelled with £323.5m worth of new signings, including £107m Enzo Fernandez who impressed on his debut.
