Jackson blanks Chelsea Palmer celebration

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson refused to celebrate after he was denied the chance to take a penalty.

The forward wanted the ball off regular penalty taker Cole Palmer in their game against Everton.

The Blues won the game 6-0, with Palmer scoring four goals, but Jackson was livid at not getting a chance to score from the spot.

"Dear oh dear," said ex-Arsenal and England striker Alan Smith on Sky Sports during the game.

"You're 4-0 up and arguing amongst yourselves! What is going on here?

“That's poor, that is poor. Listen, who's the penalty taker? It's Cole Palmer. Give him the ball, let him take it."
