Mauricio Pochettino says it’s time to ‘move on’ from the penalty incident that overshadowed Chelsea’s victory over Everton, though believes the row between his players showed the ‘character and personality’ within the squad.
Chelsea stretched their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight games with a thumping 6-0 defeat of Everton on Monday evening, with Cole Palmer scoring a second hat-trick in three matches at Stamford Bridge.
However, the argument leading up the Blues’ 64th-minute spot-kick, involving Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson, proved the major talking point of the one-sided encounter in west London.
Madueke and Jackson clashed over penalty duties before Chelsea’s regular taker, Palmer – now the league’s joint-top goalscorer – grabbed the ball and converted past England colleague Jordan Pickford to make it five on the night.
It’s not the first time Chelsea players have argued over penalties this season, with Raheem Sterling pulling rank and denying Palmer an effort from the spot against Leicester in the FA Cup last month – only to miss from 12 yards.
