Captain Conor Gallagher then stepped in to mediate, which resulted in Palmer -- who is the Blues' designated penalty taker -- emerging from the squabble with the ball in his hands and promptly stepping up to score his fourth goal of the game. Having been awarded a penalty on the hour mark, several Chelsea players were seen bickering over the taking duties. Speaking after the game, Palmer -- who has a 100% success rate when it comes to taking penalties in the Premier League -- acknowledged that the issue had already been settled. "Of course, the sight of teammates quibbling over penalties is hardly a new phenomenon, with some of the game's biggest names getting embroiled in spats over spot"Other players wanted to take it, but I am the penalty taker and I wanted to take it," he said. One of the most memorable was the "Penaltygate" altercation between Neymar and Mbappé against Montpellier in 2022 that saw the former commandeer the ball from the latter after Mbappé had previously missed from the spot during the same game. 157 was denied by Neymar, who steadfastly refused to let Cavani take a penalty won later in the game on the basis that he was the club's designated taker, despite his teammate having been felled in the area to win the spot kick in the first place. Sadly, the chance to add goal No. The Brazilian had previously denied Edinson Cavani a place in the record books during an 8-0 obliteration of Dijon in 2018. Instead, Neymar stepped up to score his fourth of the night amid a chorus of disapproving boos echoing around the Parc des Princes as he began his run-up. The midfielder duly smashed the ball into the back of the net as a jilted Ronaldo was left to sulk. Already up 5-2 at the Bernabéu, Ronaldo was tripped in the box with just a few minutes left on the clock and immediately grasped the ball with the intention of firing in his second goal of the game. United were already 3-1 ahead at Old Trafford when they won a penalty in the 90th minute of the encounter. Clashing egos came to the fore at Manchester United after Ronaldo denied strike partner Tevez the chance to complete his hat trick during a game against Derby County in 2007. However, Alonso wanted to take the penalty in order to score his first goal for Los Blancos, and was encouraged by several of his teammates. The third of the goals was -- you guessed it -- a penalty, with Lampard handing his teammate the honour of scoring from the spot. Frank was right," a contrite Drogba said after the game. The Ivory Coast striker weighed in with a hat trick that saw him wrap up the Golden Boot while fuelling the Blues to a resounding 8-0 victory. ' I am a magician!"Things went exactly as you'd expect as the 20-year-old midfielder found himself on the end of a tongue-lashing from the fiery Italian striker. Unfortunately, etiquette was not followed, as both Son and Lamela proceeded to have an almighty argument with each other over who was going to do the honours from the spot as Dele, the on a hat trick, stayed silent. Thankfully, blushes were ultimately spared as Spurs held on to record a 2-0 victory. After bickering back and forth for a minute or two, Lamela quite literally seized the initiative only to see his meek penalty easily thwarted by goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
