Chelsea defeated Everton 6-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
Despite the massive Chelsea victory, the penalty fight involving Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson has been one of the major talking point from this game.
Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke had argued about who will take the penalty, and were both frustrated when Conor Gallagher insisted it would be taken by Cole Palmer.
Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher described the penalty drama as ‘daft’ and said it partly overshadowed a fine Chelsea performance.
“What happened in the second half was just ridiculous. It’s daft,” he said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
“It’s your best result of the season and you start doing this…”
Everton midfielder Dele Alli, who played his best football under Mauricio Pochettino, called Jackson and Madueke ‘selfish’ following their actions.
“I think Pochettino will be really disappointed about it,” he said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
“The big thing about him is he cares so much about players as people as well and for them to do that is kind of selfish.
“They want to get on the scoresheet – it’s good that players want to score – but do it during the game. If you’re not the taker then just step away from the ball.
“I didn’t see them doing it in the last minute against Manchester United when the pressure was on.
“It’s clear that Mauricio isn’t happy about it. They’re young players so they will learn from it.”
