Mauricio Pochettino left his Monday night press conference in a fit of rage after being asked to comment on the bizarre penalty incident that occurred between Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea defeated Everton in a comprehensive 6-0 score-line, with talented forward Cole Palmer managing four goals to take his Premier League tally for the season to 20.

However, there was one major topic on everyone's minds after the game, and unfortunately it wasn't the result, which leaves a previously woeful Chelsea within touching distance of the top six.

Palmer, the normal penalty taker for the Blues this season, looked ready to step up when the kick was awarded. But, Madueke took the ball, prompting Jackson to argue that he should take it instead.

The conversation soon became heated, before captain Conor Gallagher stepped in to inform them that Palmer would in fact be the player taking the shot.

Pochettino was quick to apologise on behalf of his players, stating that this would be "the last time" he would allow this kind of behaviour.

Although, it seemed the Blues boss himself was tired of talking about the matter, as he promptly left his press conference after being hounded about the penalty. A video showed the boss complaining about intense questioning, before choosing to leave the room.

Pochettino was heard saying: "All day we talk about one thing" before turning around and reaffirming his point to the press. You all [asked] one [question] all press conference. Every question was in this way [about the penalty incident]."

The Argentine boss had nothing left to say after he promptly exited the room at Stamford Bridge, bringing the press conference to an abrupt end.
