(Video) Furious Noni Madueke involved in heated bust up with his Chelsea Teammate Cole Palmer dragging who would play the penalty despite already being 4-0 ahead

Even when Chelsea was leading 4-0 against Everton, players engaged in a “pathetic” dispute over a penalty.

Cole Palmer was the star of Chelsea’s Monday night thrashing of Everton.

The 21-year-old put on another incredible display in the first half, finishing with a 16-minute hat-trick.

Before the half, Nicolas Jackson scored a fourth, and shortly after the hour, Palmer was fouled, giving Chelsea the opportunity to make it five.

However, even though we were already winning handily, things became heated.

Before captain Conor Gallagher approached and instructed him to pass the ball to Palmer, Noni Madueke was standing over the penalty spot with the ball in his hands.

Palmer pushed Jackson aside as he charged in and insisted that Madueke accept the sentence.

Palmer scored his fourth goal of the game after Jackson dragged Madueke off the field.

When they grudgingly trotted up to celebrate Palmer’s goal, they were clearly furious, though they did both give their congrats.

“Grow up Jackson and Madueke, pitiful,” a fan said on X. An further fan called the event “embarrassing.”

The incident raised the possibility of tensions inside the Chelsea locker room, which is just one of several problems Pochettino has faced this year.

Palmer’s previous hasn’t been a problem, however; since joining from Manchester City for £40 million last summer, the England youth player has scored 24 goals and given 13 assists in all competitions this season.

Palmer currently shares the top spot on the scoring lists with former City teammate Erling Haaland after scoring 20 goals in the Premier League this season.

Palmer will face his old team on Saturday at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and City.
