Cole Palmer gives emphatic five-word response to Chelsea's penalty row after embarrassing spat between Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke in 6-0 thrashing of Everton

Cole Palmer has emphatically told his Chelsea team-mates 'I am our penalty taker' after yet another row in Monday night's thrashing of Everton.

Mauricio Pochettino's side smashed six goals past the struggling Toffees but another embarrassing on-field argument over who should take a spot-kick overshadowed the win.

After Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke debated who should take the 64th-minute kick, Palmer eventually had to pull rank and take the kick himself.

He converted to score his fourth of the evening but Pochettino was left incensed at his feuding players with the issue becoming a theme this evening.
