Dele Alli claims Chelsea duo Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson ‘showed their age’ after battling for a penalty with Cole Palmer, as injured Everton star accuses them of wanting to score in a ‘no pressure situation “.

Dele Alli claimed Chelsea players were “showing their age” when they argued over who would take a penalty in Everton’s 6-0 defeat on Monday.

Three Blues stars were involved in a pushing competition when Noni Madueke was fouled in the penalty area and a debate broke out over who would take the resulting spot-kick.

Madueke and Nicolas Jackson were then involved in a heated exchange as they began to push each other and force Conor Gallagher and Malo Gusto to end the public altercation at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer eventually got hold of the ball and stepped up to smash a shot past Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to score his fourth goal of the match.

Injured Everton star Alli was providing analysis on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football when he delivered an honest verdict on the undisciplined behavior shown by the Chelsea stars.

“For me it’s that they’re showing their age,” Alli said when giving his analysis on the embarrassing actions of the Blues players involved.

“I’m not there every day on the training ground and I don’t know who the designated penalty taker is.

“As far as I know, in the last big match, when the pressure was on in the last minute, I didn’t see them all fighting to win,” he added.

Pochettino then said after the match that he would again punish Chelsea players who thought outside the box in this way.

Alli offered some genuine advice to rival strikers as he watched Everton slump to a disappointing defeat at Stamford Bridge, continuing: “It’s all good when it’s 4-0 and you want to get on the scoresheet If you want to get on the scoresheet, don’t do it when it’s 4-0 in a no-pressure situation.

“It’s a shame because they had an incredible night and people are talking about that rather than their incredible performance,” he said.

Jamie Carragher echoed similar criticism of Chelsea players and branded them “stupid” for contesting who should be on penalties.

“That’s stupid, I mean, come on guys. Pochettino will be asked about this after the match.

“They just won 6-0 and it’s their best result of the season, a good night for everyone.”
