In yesterday's match, where Chelsea crushed Everton (6-0), players from the London team displayed scandalous behavior. At a score of 4-0 in favor of Chelsea, Noni Madueke earned a penalty, sparking a fight among the players over who should take the kick. Madueke grabbed the ball, while Nicolas Jackson attempted to take it from him. Ultimately, the penalty was taken by the team's top scorer and designated penalty taker, Cole Palmer.

After the match, Chelsea's head coach Mauricio Pochettino called the players' behavior disgraceful.

“It’s a shame, it’s a shame. We cannot behave in this way. I told them that this is the last time that [I will] accept this type of behaviour. All [of the players] involved in this situation, all out the next time. That is not a joke, it’s impossible after a performance like this to have this type of behaviour. If we want to be a big team fighting for big things, we need to change more in the collective way. I made clear today to the fans and to everyone that Cole Palmer is the [penalty] taker. If Palmer wants to give the ball to another then he can, but not in this way", – Pochettino was quoted by Sky Sports

Yesterday, Cole Palmer scored a poker (four goals) and caught up with Erling Haaland in the Premier League's top scorer race. Both players now have 20 goals to their name.
