Chelsea thrashed Everton 6-0 at Stamford Bridge at the end of Matchday 33 of the Premier League, but despite the amicable result, Mauricio Pochettino's players were left to clash.
With the game at 4-0, Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the 64th minute, and Cole Palmer, who had already scored a hat-trick in the game, was in charge of collecting the technicality. He was on his way to his goals playing poker.

The moment Palmer had the ball in his possession, players Nicholas Jackson (who had already scored his fourth goal) and Noni Maduke appeared, fighting among themselves to deny Palmer the opportunity to take a penalty.
After the tussle, Palmer was also furious and decided to take the ball from Maduke and place it in the penalty area, while the cameras were on coach Mauricio Pochettino, who did not complain to his players, much to the surprise of the fans.
Finally, Cole Palmer took a penalty to make it four of his goals to make it 5–0 to Chelsea, although Alfie Gilchrist sealed the game 6–0 in the 90th minute.
Chelsea haven't had their best season and are ninth in the Premier League with 47 points, making them unlikely to even qualify for the Europa League.
