Chelsea star player, Cole Palmer has opened up on a penalty argument with his teammates, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke during their 6-0 win against Everton in the Premier League on Monday.
Palmer scored the first three goals within 30 minutes, while Jackson netted the fourth in the 44th minute.
Chelsea then won a penalty kick in the second half.
Although Palmer has been the Blues’ regular penalty-taker this season, an argument sparked between him, Jackson and Madueke over who would take the spot-kick.
Speaking about the incident after the game at Stamford Bridge, the 21-year-old England international said (via Sky Sports):
“Other players wanted to take it, which is understandable because it’s 4-0. But I’m the penalty taker and I wanted to take so in the end, I took it.
“We are trying to show that everyone wants to take responsibility, maybe it was a bit over the top with the argument and stuff but everyone wants to help.
“It was nothing major, we were laughing and joking about it. The gaffer has told us now.”
