Mauricio Pochettino was furious after watching some of his Chelsea players argue over who would take a penalty during the 6-0 demolition of Everton.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke were grappling over the ball after Chelsea, already leading 4-0, were awarded a penalty in the second half.<\/p>\n

Blues captain Conor Gallagher eventually intervened, taking the ball off the Chelsea forwards and handing it to hat-trick hero Palmer.<\/p>\n

Even then Palmer had to push Jackson away before composing himself and tucking a penalty past Jordan Pickford to extend Chelsea\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n

Asked about the incident, an angry Pochettino said: \u2018It\u2019s a shame, it\u2019s a shame. It\u2019s a shame because we cannot behave in this way.<\/p>\n

\u2018I told them it\u2019s the last time I accept this type of behaviour. If we want to be a team and win things we need to think in the collective way.<\/p>\n

\u2018I made that clear to them. Cole Palmer is our taker, if he wants to give the penalty to someone else he can but not in this way. It is a sad situation and I don\u2019t want it to happen again.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a process for a young team who need to learn a lot. But it\u2019s the last time I want to see something like this. I want to apologise to the fans.\u2019<\/p>\n

Despite the unsavoury penalty scenes, Chelsea\u2019s evening got even better when academy graduate Alfie Gilchrist scored his first goal for the club late on.<\/p>\n

Chelsea led 4-0 at the interval thanks to Palmer\u2019s brilliant, perfect hat-trick inside the first 30 minutes and Jackson\u2019s goal on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n
