Chelsea’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester United was not without its share of drama, particularly when it came to a crucial penalty decision. Noni Madueke, who had come off the bench, won a penalty in extra time with Chelsea trailing 3-2. However, there was a moment of confusion as Madueke attempted to take the penalty himself, despite Cole Palmer being the designated penalty taker for Chelsea.
Stand-in captain Trevoh Chalobah and Enzo Fernandez had to intervene to prevent Madueke from taking the penalty, eventually allowing Palmer to step up and convert the spot kick. This incident left Chelsea fans stunned, with many expressing surprise and confusion at Madueke’s actions.
This was not the first time Chelsea had faced controversy over their penalty taker this season. In a previous FA Cup quarter-final match against Leicester City, Raheem Sterling took a penalty ahead of Palmer, only to have his tame effort saved. Despite the penalty drama, Chelsea emerged victorious thanks to Palmer’s late heroics. The win was a crucial one for Chelsea, who are aiming to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
