Nicolas Jackson will never attempt to take another penalty off Cole Palmer ever again after the bizarre incident during Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Everton.
On Monday night, with the score at 4-0, Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 66th minute after Palmer was fouled in the box, but what happened next overshadowed the whole match.
Palmer has been the Blues’ designated penalty taker all season, but it was Noni Madueke who grabbed the ball, with the winger insisting he took the spot-kick.
This prompted an argument between the pair as well as captain Conor Gallagher, before Jackson blazed in in an attempt to claim the penalty for himself.
In the end, Palmer was allowed to step up to the spot and score past Jordan Pickford, his fourth goal of the game and his 20th in the Premier League this season which means he now leads the Golden Boot race.
All anyone could talk about was the penalty incident however, which left Mauricio Pochettino ‘upset’, though Palmer himself tried to play the matter down.
Madueke has taken Chelsea’s only two penalties this season when the England international wasn’t on the pitch, so one could understand his desire to take another given his teammate had already completed his hat-trick.
