Chelsea manager Graham Potter offered a blunt response to Kai Havertz's celebration during their 2-2 draw with Everton.
The German sent Jordan Pickford the wrong way from the penalty spot to restore the Londoners' lead at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening before goading the England number one with his celebration.
It's the latest instalment of their bubbling rivalry, with the former Bayer Leverkusen prospect appearing to have some needle towards the Blues backline. It wasn't the first time that there has been back-and-forth between the two clubs - last season, Havertz was involved in an ongoing battle with Yerry Mina and Pickford, with the Chelsea attacker lucky to escape punishment after reacting to the defender.

His exuberant celebration proved to be in vain as Ellis Simms scored his first Premier League goal for Everton after slotting beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga. His goal handed the Blues a two-point cushion over the bottom three as Chelsea's hopes of a late push for the top four faded further.
But it was Havertz's celebration which proved to be a big talking point at full-time, with Potter less than impressed with his forward.
"When players score, they have something like an out-of-body experience," Potter said in his post match press conference.
"I didn’t score many myself so I wouldn’t know. You should enjoy the celebration, I don’t think you need to involve the opponent. That would be my perspective."
The former Brighton boss added: "We’re really disappointed because we’ve dropped two points at home. We wanted to win and you saw the intention of the team.
"There was a lot of positive things in the performance but ultimately we’ve not defended well enough and to concede two goals, it’s not easy to win the game. That’s the disappointing thing for us.”
