Cole Palmer has been hailed by Chelsea supporters for telling goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic where Newcastle's Matt Ritchie was going to hit his penalty in Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final clash.

The Blues advanced to the League Cup semi-final following a 4-3 penalty shootout victory that resulted in Ritchie missing his crucial spot-kick at Stamford Bridge.

Petrovic dived to his left to stop the Magpies midfielder from 12-yards and a video has now shown Palmer giving advice to his goalkeeper as Ritchie waited to strike.

The England international made the brave decision to leave Manchester City for Chelsea in the summer after winning the Treble last season.
