How childish Chelsea penalty argument started

How childish Chelsea penalty argument started
  • Blues awarded spot-kick against Everton
  • Players fought among themselves
  • Responsibility eventually handed to Palmer

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Blues were awarded a spot-kick just past the hour mark in a Premier League home date with the Toffees. Golden Boot hopeful Cole Palmer had already registered a hat-trick by that stage, leading Stamford Bridge colleagues to believe that they would be allowed to step up from 12 yards.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Madueke and Jackson initially led the race to inherit penalty-taking duties, with the pair racing to wrestle the match ball away from colleague Malo Gusto. A heated exchange then broke out, doing little to quieten the accusations of Chelsea having assembled an expensive group of individuals – rather than a united team.

DID YOU KNOW?

Madueke thought that he had won the argument, only to then see captain Conor Gallagher step in. He made it clear that England international Palmer is the Blues’ designated penalty-taker – with that news not going down well with a 22-year-winger that has only three Premier League goals to his name this season.

WHAT NEXT?

Palmer, as expected, held his nerve to convert from the spot and complete a four-goal haul in a resounding 6-0 win. He is now up to 20 top-flight efforts for the season, leaving him level with Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland in the battle for Golden Boot honours.
