Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta has played down an incident which involved Man Utd's Romelu Lukaku barging him into a photographer.
The Blues defender denied there was any lingering animosity between him and the Belgian star following their clash during Sunday's match at Old Trafford.
Lukaku sent the Chelsea skipper flying off the pitch after a tussle near the corner flag.
Azpilicueta almost hit the fence protecting the spectators from the action, but instead collided with United's official club photographer of 25 years.
Asked about the incident by the Metro , he said: "I was okay, maybe I was lucky I had the photographer just in front of me. I was going straight to the wall.
