Cesc Fabregas and Thibaut Courtois teased each other over Twitter on Monday regarding a game that Chelsea lost 3-0 to West Brom in 2015.

Fabregas retweeted a gif of Courtois in the tunnel at The Hawthorns on May 18, 2015 and wrote next to it 'you were NOT focused enough'.

Courtois took the joke well, replying to the Spaniard by saying 'if I remember well in that game you had a red card after 20 min.'

Fabregas was indeed shown a red card that day, after 28 minutes, for kicking the ball at a crowd of players during a stoppage in play.

The midfielder replied to Courtois by asking 'is it an excuse for conceding 3 that day?'

Belgium goalkeeper Courtois then managed to get the final word in by writing 'Hahaha luckily we won the premier league before that game!'

Courtois and Belgium became the first European nation to qualify for the World Cup next year in Russia on Sunday when they beat Greece 2-1 in Athens.
