Man United flop Antony was involved in a heated clash with Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez during Wednesday’s Europa Conference League final.

Antony, on loan at Real Betis, let his frustrations get the better of him as the game entered its final minutes.

Betis had started brilliantly, striking early and taking a well deserved lead into half-time.

However, the Blues came alive in the second half and were 3-1 up by the time the incident occurred. 

Fernandez was the victim of a late challenge and stayed down, much to the annoyance of the Spanish side.

Antony offered the Argentina international a hand to help pull him up, an offer which he declined.

And that did not sit well with the Brazilian who leaned down and appeared to throw his head towards him.

Fernandez then returned to his feet and tempers continued to flare between the two as both sets of players got involved to separate them.

Antony received a yellow card for his part in the fracas and it capped what was a miserable evening for him.

The winger has undergone a career renaissance since joining Betis in January but had very little impact on the night, well marshalled by the Chelsea defence.

Enzo Maresca’s side ran out 4-1 winners, making them the only side to have won all four major continental club trophies.
