It’s crazy: these two Chelsea players are on the verge of fighting… to take a penalty

Chelsea crushed Everton (6-0) at the end of the 33rd day of the Premier League on Monday. Cole Palmer stood out with a quadruplet while Amadou Onana was unable to do anything to prevent the rout of his team. The Red Devil started, but he was replaced at rest.

Palmer scored the first three goals of the match in the first half hour (13th, 18th, 29th) and Nicolas Jackson hit the nail on the head just before returning to the locker room (44th). On a penalty, Cole Palmer completed his work in the 64th minute before giving up his place (80th). In stoppage time, Alfie Gilchrist sealed the final score at 6-0. Tempers got a little heated in the 64th minute, when Chelsea won a penalty.

Eager to shoot him, Jackson grabbed the leather before other players, including Gallaghet and Madueke, got involved. Indeed, the official penalty taker was indeed Cole Palmer and the two men argued on the field, before Palmer ended up inheriting the leather. He also converted the penalty, but the images of this tension are currently circulating on social networks. Which frustrates Mauricio Pochettino, the Blues coach, who refocused everyone at a press conference. “Palmer is the penalty taker. This won’t happen again, we can’t behave like children anymore”he said bluntly.

Earlier today, Everton appealed the 2-point penalty handed out by the Premier League a week ago for breaching the competition’s financial rules. Pending the outcome of this appeal, the withdrawal of 2 points is effective, as is the withdrawal of 6 points already imposed for similar infractions.

As a result, the Toffees only have 27 points from 32 games (rather than 35 points). They are ranked 16th in the standings, ahead of Nottingham Forest (26 points) and just 2 points from the red zone. Chelsea, undefeated since the start of February, are 9th with 47 points.
