After Man Utd won their game against Leicester to finish third on the Premier League table, Jayawardene retweeted a Man Utd post congratulating the club on their UEFA Champions League qualification. Jayawardene wrote that the third-place finish in the Premier League table was not a bad way to finish the season, while also applauding at the fact that the club secured a place in next year’s Champions League. However, soon after Jayawardene made his Man Utd congratulatory tweet, Chelsea fan Kevin Pietersen was quick to troll the batsman.
Replying to his tweet, Kevin Pietersen mocked at the fact that Jayawardene was rejoicing at Man Utd’s third-place finish. However, Jayawardene was quick to reply that Pietersen's club Chelsea had themselves finished fourth.

Kevin Pietersen’s tweet appears to have backfired after fans pointed out that he should take a look at the Premier League table since his own club Chelsea finished below Man Utd in fourth place. Another fan tweeted that Man Utd have defeated Chelsea thrice this season and lead the head-to-head record 3-1. Before replying to Jayawardene, Kevin Pietersen had tweeted that he won’t be tweeting about Chelsea’s fourth place as all Man Utd fans have been tweeting about their club’s position in the Premier League table.
