Chelsea 6-0 Everton: How Cole Palmer saw off Noni Madueke and Nicholas Jackson in Chelsea's 'daft' penalty spat

Cole Palmer and Mauricio Pochettino have both reiterated that the Chelsea midfielder is the team's penalty taker after a "daft" spat with Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke.

Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher also had his say to back-up Palmer's claim, with Jackson then returning to the group. As Palmer prepared to set the ball down, there was shoving between the players and clear arguments, but Palmer eventually took - and scored - the spot kick.

It was an embarrassing incident in what was one of Chelsea's best performances of the season, which Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher called "daft" on Monday Night Football.

In his post-match interviews, Pochettino apologised to the Chelsea fans for his players' behaviour. He added that such an incident would not happen again, encouraging his players to think as a collective.

"It is impossible to have this type of behaviour after this performance. If we want to be a great team, we need to change and think in a collective way.
