Palmer delivered a remarkable performance against Everton, netting four goals in a commanding 6-0 triumph for the Blues at Stamford Bridge. The fourth goal, however, arose from a dispute with his Chelsea teammates over who would take the penalty kick. Despite the disagreement, Palmer ultimately stepped up to take the kick, though it marred an otherwise exceptional evening for Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Palmer’s remarks hint that Pochettino wasted no time addressing the issue with his players post-match and appointing a designated penalty taker. It’s likely Pochettino emphasized Palmer’s role as the primary choice, given his standout contributions this season, which have seen him match Erling Haaland’s tally of 20 goals atop the Premier League scoring charts.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Palmer explained, “Other players wanted to take it which was understandable, the game was 4-0. But I’m the penalty taker and I wanted to take it so I took it. But I think we are just trying to show that everyone wants to take responsibility and stuff like that. Maybe it was a bit of an over the top the argument, but everyone wants to win and help. But it was nothing major and we were laughing and joking about it. But the gaffer has told us now.”

Palmer boasts a perfect record in converting penalties in the Premier League, having successfully converted all nine attempts. Only Yaya Touré, with an 11 out of 11 record, has a higher conversion rate from the spot in the history of the competition.
