(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

During a recent match between Chelsea and Everton, tensions flared as Chelsea players engaged in a dispute over a penalty kick despite holding a commanding lead of four goals. The match, which saw Everton suffer a significant defeat under the leadership of Cole Palmer, witnessed the 21-year-old’s remarkable performance, netting three goals within a mere sixteen minutes in the first half. As halftime approached, Nicolas Jackson secured the fourth goal for Chelsea, and shortly after the hour mark, Palmer found himself fouled, presenting Chelsea with an opportunity to extend their lead from the penalty spot.

Amidst their seemingly inevitable victory, emotions ran high on the pitch. Captain Conor Gallagher intervened, urging Noni Madueke to yield the ball to Palmer, who was poised to take the penalty. However, tensions escalated as Jackson intervened, insisting that Madueke should take the penalty instead. A physical altercation ensued, with Palmer ultimately stepping up to convert the penalty and secure his fourth goal of the match.

Despite their reluctance, both Jackson and Madueke begrudgingly joined in the celebration of Palmer’s achievement, though their frustration was evident. Fans expressed their dismay at the altercation, labeling the behavior as immature and embarrassing.

The incident shed light on underlying issues within the Chelsea team dynamics, adding to the challenges faced by manager Pochettino throughout the season. However, amidst the turmoil, Palmer’s individual performance has shone brightly. Since his transfer from Manchester City for a hefty sum of £40 million last summer, the young English talent has been a consistent performer, tallying an impressive 24 goals and 13 assists across all competitions this season.

Palmer’s prowess in front of goal has been particularly notable in the Premier League, where he has notched up 20 goals, placing him on par with Erling Haaland as the top scorers among former City players. The upcoming FA Cup semi-final clash between Chelsea and Manchester City presents Palmer with an opportunity to showcase his talents against his former club at Wembley Stadium.
