Palmer and Madueke were embroiled in controversy amid the win over Everton. Gallagher and Jackson had to intervene.
Chelsea humiliated Everton at Stamford Bridge. The London team beat the Toffees 6-0, thanks to an impeccable performance from Cole Palmer . The English striker scored four of his team’s six goals, thus consolidating himself as one of the figures of the season and one of the scorers of the premier league next to Erling Haaland both with 20 targets.
Of course, in the middle of his beautiful day, The 21-year-old footballer was the protagonist of a controversy. The southpaw and Noni Madueke took center stage after an argument between the two.
The match was 4-0 in favor of Chelsea when the Blues were awarded a penalty in their favor. The midfielder went to the throw-off point and collected the ball. However, Palmer, who has been the designated kicker all season, went for his poker and recovered the ball.
Madueke refused and wanted to keep the auction option. It was at this point that Conor Gallagher, captain of the Blues, arrived and acted as mediator. He took the ball from his hands and handed it to Palmer. Nicolas Jackson also intervened, but the left-hander pushed them away gently. The genet carrier did the same and removed his teammates from the game, giving the designated player the opportunity to shoot.
As Palmer prepared to shoot and Madueke complained, the Senegalese striker questioned Gallagher, since the left-hander had already scored three goals and the result was very favorable, so he considered the midfielder’s option to shooting was logical.
The English striker didn’t care much. He took responsibility and did not fail, scoring his fourth goal of the day and moving to the top of the list of top scorers alongside Haaland.
Chelsea ended up winning 6-0. The authors of the other two goals? Jackson himself and Alfie Gilchrist . The latter scored in injury time, putting an end to the celebration organized by Stanford Bridge. The 20-year-old full-back celebrated euphorically after scoring, as it was his first Premier League goal.
