Chelsea is a 'CESSPIT of over-inflated egos', claims Chris Sutton on It's All Kicking Off... Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson's penalty scrap shows the Blues are a 'team in name only'

Chris Sutton has dubbed Chelsea's dressing room a 'cesspit of over-inflated egos' following the on-pitch scrap over who would take the penalty against Everton on Monday night.

Cole Palmer was already on a hat-trick when the Blues - who were leading 4-0 - won a penalty after Noni Madueke was brought down in the box, and having netted nine times from the spot this season was primed to step up once again.

But his efforts were delayed when a tussle broke out between Madueke and Nicolas Jackson over whether one of them might take the spot kick, which prompted boos from the Stamford Bridge faithful until the disagreement was eventually broken up by Conor Gallagher.
