Chelsea put six past Everton, as the Blues defeated the Toffees 6-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Four goals from Cole Palmer, as well as goals from Nicolas Jackson and youngster Alfie Gilchrist sealed the victory for Chelsea.

However, a bizarre thing happened in the second-half when Chelsea were leading 4-0.

Referee Paul Tierney had pointed to the penalty spot for a penalty, following a harsh tackle on Cole Palmer.

Nicolas Jackson initially took the ball to take the penalty, but Noni Madueke tried to take the ball from the Chelsea striker, which caused an argument between the pair.

Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher then took the ball and handed it to Cole Palmer, who has been a regular penalty taker for Chelsea.

Even at that point, Noni Madueke and Jackson were still furious that Palmer was going to take the penalty.

Cole Palmer will take the penalty and score the fifth goal for the Blues.

Arsenal legend, Alan Smith has slammed Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke for arguing over who would take Chelsea’s penalty against Everton, telling the duo to ‘grow up’.

“That is poor, that is so poor,” ex-Arsenal striker Smith said on commentary for Sky Sports.

“Who’s the penalty taker? Cole Palmer. Give him the ball and let him take it. Don’t worry about individual stats.

“Noni Madueke is desperate to take this! He is arguing with Nicolas Jackson. I’ve never seen anything like it, especially given the scoreline.

“Grow up. I don’t blame Palmer for not wanting to give it up, he’s the designated penalty taker and the best one at it.

“Palmer stayed out of the squabbling but it was really poor. You can see in Mauricio Pochettino’s face that he’s less than impressed by that.”
