New footage of Chelsea’s latest penalty row shows Noni Madueke snatching the ball and giving Nicolas Jackson a rollicking – before Cole Palmer pulls rank to score it.

The embarrassing moment, in the 64th minute of Chelsea’s 6-0 thrashing of Everton on Monday night, left manager Mauricio Pochettino furious.

The fresh camera angle of the incident, shown on Sky Sports, shows the immediate aftermath of James Tarkowski’s foul on Palmer to concede the penalty.

Madueke succeeds in grabbing the ball, then turns his back on the protesting Jackson to prevent him getting it.

The pair continue to argue as Madueke carries the ball towards the penalty spot, with Gusto trying to calm Jackson down as they shout at one another.

The experienced Thiago Silva then becomes involved, putting his arm around the shoulders of both players in an attempt to defuse the argument.

But they continue to bicker until Jackson eventually gives up and walks away.

At that point, Palmer gets up off the turf following the foul, walks over to Madueke and reminds him he is the designated penalty taker, while being backed up by captain Conor Gallagher.

Madueke cedes the ball, but to Gallagher rather than Palmer, before Jackson becomes involved once again, only to be shoved away by Palmer after he finally gets possession of the ball.

It’s then left to Gallagher to eject Jackson and Madueke from the penalty area so Palmer can actually take the kick, which he put past Jordan Pickford for his fourth goal of the evening.

The unedifying row overshadowed one of Chelsea’s best wins of the season and led to an incensed Pochettino making clear afterwards that Palmer is the club’s designated spot-kick taker.

Palmer’s four-goal haul at Stamford Bridge took him to 20 Premier League goals for the season, level at the top of the Golden Boot race with his former Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland.

Nine of those 20 goals have come from the penalty spot after Palmer emerged as Chelsea’s most reliable taker.

Pochettino said in his press conference: ‘First of all, I want to tell you to make clear that they know, the players know, the staff know, the club know, that the taker on penalties is Cole Palmer.

‘It is a shame. I am so, so upset about this situation. We are talking in the dressing room about the image that we send because this is Monday night football and in every single country they were watching the game.

‘We cannot send this type of image. It is a shame and I want to apologise to football people and our fans because that is unacceptable.’

Pochettino went on to say Madueke and Jackson would be ‘out’ if they acted in that way again.

‘I told them this is the last time I accept this type of behaviour. They’re all, involved in this situation, all out next time,’ he told Sky Sports.

‘This is not a joke. It is impossible after a performance like this. 

‘It shows we are in a process where we will learn a lot, we need to change and see more in the collective way than to think of individual achievement.’

England international Palmer confirmed he is now officially Chelsea’s No 1 penalty taker in a post-match interview on NBC Sports.

Palmer eventually shoved his teammates away to take the penalty, which he duly converted

‘Everyone wants to score, especially the attackers. It’s nothing, we have spoken about it, we have brushed it under the carpet,’ Palmer began. 

‘I think it just shows the mentality of the players, they want to take it, but the gaffer has told us, it’s been brushed aside and I’m sure it won’t happen again.’

Pressed on whether he was Chelsea’s first-choice to take penalties, Palmer then replied: ‘Well, I am now, yes.’

Palmer added: ‘Other players wanted to take it, which was understandable. I am the penalty taker and wanted to take it.

‘We’re just trying to show everyone that we want to take responsibility. Maybe it was over the top, the argument. We were laughing and joking about it.’

Dele Alli, who was a guest pundit on Sky’s Monday Night Football, said the feuding players were ‘showing their age’ over the row.

‘This for me is them showing their age,’ said Alli when giving his analysis of the incident.

‘I am not there at the training ground every day or know who is the designated penalty taker. 

‘As far as I’m aware in the last big game when pressure was on in the last minute I didn’t see them all fighting to take it then,’ he added.

Alli then offered genuine advice to the rival strikers as he watched Everton slump to a disappointing defeat at Stamford Bridge, continuing: ‘It’s alright when it’s 4-0 and you want to get on the scoresheet. If you want to get on the scoresheet don’t do it when it’s 4-0 in an unpressurised situation.

‘It’s a shame as they did have an amazing night and people are talking about this rather than their amazing performance,’ he said.
