Mauricio Pochettino was furious after watching some of his Chelsea players argue over who would take a penalty during the 6-0 demolition of Everton.
Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke were grappling over the ball after Chelsea, already leading 4-0, were awarded a penalty in the second half.
Blues captain Conor Gallagher eventually intervened, taking the ball off the Chelsea forwards and handing it to hat-trick hero Palmer.
Even then Palmer had to push Jackson away before composing himself and tucking a penalty past Jordan Pickford to extend Chelsea’s lead.
Asked about the incident, an angry Pochettino said: ‘It’s a shame, it?s a shame. It?s a shame because we cannot behave in this way.
‘I told them it?s the last time I accept this type of behaviour. If we want to be a team and win things we need to think in the collective way.
‘I made that clear to them. Cole Palmer is our taker, if he wants to give the penalty to someone else he can but not in this way. It is a sad situation and I don?t want it to happen again.
“It’s a shame, it’s a shame”
