New footage of Chelsea’s penalty farce against Everton emerges as fans slam ‘disgraceful’ Madueke and Jackson


FANS have slammed Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson after disgraceful new footage of Chelsea’s penalty farce emerged.

The Blues thumped Everton 6-0 on Monday at Stamford Bridge to continue their climb towards securing European football.

Cole Palmer stole the show again as he rifled home four goals to smash yet more Chelsea records.

However, the stunning victory was soured by a bizarre penalty argument in the second half when the hosts were already 4-0 up.

England U21 winger Madueke, 22, firstly grabbed the ball to take the penalty.

But things turned farcical as he was forced to fight off Jackson from pinching the ball off him before Palmer, the club’s regular penalty taker and who has a 100 per cent record from the spot for Chelsea, grabbed it, despite reluctance from Madueke.

Senegal striker Jackson, 22, then steamed in again and this time attempted to take the ball off Palmer.

That resulted in the in-form ace shoving his teammate away before captain Conor Gallagher intervened to calm things down before Palmer slotted home.

Jackson was still raging after the final whistle – despite Palmer later claiming that the players were laughing about the incident in the dressing-room.

Now a new clip of the scenes leading up to the fifth goal has now surfaced showing a different angle of the comical incident.

The footage, which was aired by Sky Sports, starts with the immediate aftermath after the foul for the penalty.

It begins with Malo Gusto having the ball in his hands before both Madueke and Jackson sprint over to try and wrestle it from his grasp.

Madueke succeeds in getting hold of it before turning his back on the protesting Jackson.

The two continued to row as Madueke carried the ball towards the penalty spot before Gusto got in a shouting match with Jackson while trying to calm him down.

Experienced defender Thiago Silva then tried to defuse things by putting an arm around each player but the bickering continued until finally Jackson walked away.

Meanwhile, Palmer had remained on the turf after being fouled, but at this point he got up and walked to Madueke to remind his team-mate that he is the club’s penalty taker as Gallagher backed him up.

Madueke then gives the ball to his skipper rather than the attacker, only for Jackson to get involved again, leading to Palmer shoving him away to finally get possession of the ball.

Gallagher then gets rid of both Jackson and Madueke from the box so Palmer can slot home for his fourth of the night.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino was fuming after the game as he reiterated that Palmer was his designated penalty taker.

He said: “It’s a shame. I told the players we can’t behave in this way.

“I told them this is the last time I will accept this type of behaviour.

“They’re all involved in this situation, next time they’re all out. This is not a joke.

“It’s impossible after a performance like this to see this type of behaviour.

“If we want to be a great team, fighting for big things, we need to change and think more in a collective way.

“I made clear to them, and now through the media, and I say to our fans and to everyone, Cole Palmer is the penalty taker. And it’s now his choice if he wants to give the ball to another player but not in this way.

“It’s very sad and I don’t want it to happen again. We behaved like kids.”

When asked if the row will affect his selection for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Man City at Wembley, Poch added: “No, no. It does not work like this.

“They are not experienced players that really know what they are doing. They are young. They are kids. They need to experience some situations to learn.

“We are like in a school. We need to show that they were wrong, now they need to learn. If they don’t learn, yes we will take some decision.

“Now it is about learning, using this experience to move on.”

Fans were also quick to react to the new angle of the row, with one posting on X: “The full incident is so much worse.”

Another called it “disgusting” while a fellow fan said that it was an “embarrassment”.

“Noni Madueke should be ashamed of himself,” claimed another.

A fifth said: “This is so disgraceful.”

While a sixth added: “That is the team symphony, now we know why they aren’t performing.”
