Pochettino is angry as Chelsea players fight over penalty against Everton, saying their behavior is unacceptable.

During Chelsea's dominant 6-0 victory over Everton, there was a bit of a disagreement among the players over who would take a penalty kick. This didn't sit well with their manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who was quite upset by the situation. It all started when Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke both wanted to take the penalty kick after Chelsea was already up 4-0 in the second half.

The team's captain, Conor Gallagher, eventually intervened and took the ball from the two forwards, handing it over to hat-trick hero Cole Palmer. But even then, there was a bit of a struggle as Palmer had to push Jackson away before taking the penalty kick. Despite the drama, Palmer was able to score past Everton's goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, extending Chelsea's lead.

When asked about the incident, Pochettino expressed his disappointment and frustration, stating that this type of behavior is not acceptable from his team. He made it clear to the players that they need to think as a team and not as individuals if they want to achieve success. Pochettino also apologized to the fans for what happened on the pitch.

However, despite the penalty kick drama, it was still a memorable evening for Chelsea as academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist scored his first goal for the club late in the game. The team was already leading 4-0 at halftime, thanks to Palmer's brilliant hat-trick and Jackson's goal right before the break.

Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher couldn't help but comment on the penalty scenes, calling it "daft" and stating that it took away from what was an impressive performance by Chelsea. But Palmer, the man at the center of the drama, revealed that his teammates were actually joking about it after the match.

He admitted that there was a bit of an argument on the pitch, but it was all in good spirits as everyone on the team wants to take responsibility and help the team win. As a team, they were able to laugh and joke about it afterward.

This victory brings Chelsea just three points behind sixth-placed Newcastle United, while Everton remains in 16th place, only two points above the relegation zone. It was a great result for Chelsea, but the penalty incident may have overshadowed their performance. However, it's a lesson for the young team to learn from, and Pochettino has made it clear that he doesn't want to see anything like this happen again.
