It is at least rare for the coach of a team that wins 6 to 0 to leave angry. However, this occurred after Chelsea's crushing victory against Everton, in a match corresponding to matchday 33 of the Premier League.
With the score at 4-0 for the local team, the strangest situation of the match occurred: Chelsea had a penalty in their favor and the ball was taken by Cole Palmer, the usual executioner of maximum penalties. At that moment, Madueke and Jackson wanted to take the ball from the English player, who did not let himself be intimidated. Cold, who was in search of his poker and is fighting for the Premier League Golden Boot, did not allow it and even pushed Nicolas to get out of his way. In the end, Palmer changed a penalty for a goal and tied Erling Haaland at the top of the English championship's scorers.
After the meeting, Mauricio Pochettino was consulted and left no room for doubt: “Palmer is the one who takes the penalties. It won't happen again, we can't behave like children. (..) It is a pity. I told the players that this is the last time I accept this kind of behavior. This is not a joke”.
🚨 Pochettino: “Palmer is the penalty taker. “It won't happen again, can't behave like kids again.”
“It's a shame. I told the players this is the last time I will accept this type of behavior. This is not a joke.”
“Again, very clear. “Cole Palmer is the penalty taker.” pic.twitter.com/cH93tCS5rY

Beyond the unusual sequence, Chelsea is in ninth position in the table, with one game less than the rest. A gray season for Pochettino's men who don't even have peace when they score.
