Tensions arose within the team when they were awarded a penalty in the second half amid Chelsea's dominant performance against Everton

Despite Palmer's remarkable performance, which saw him score four goals, including a perfect hat-trick in the first half and an additional penalty after the break, his achievement was marred by a dispute between teammates Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson over who would take the penalty.

Such internal disagreements over penalty duties can be concerning for a manager like Mauricio Pochettino, especially given Palmer's established role as Chelsea's regular penalty taker this season, with nine successful conversions.

However, it's understandable that both Madueke and Jackson might have been eager to contribute in a match where Chelsea already held a comfortable lead.

While Palmer's stellar performances have undoubtedly boosted Chelsea's prospects for European qualification, they have also propelled him into the spotlight as an individual player.

His four-goal display against Everton puts him level with Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.

Moreover, pundits like Jamie Carragher have speculated about Palmer's potential for Player of the Year honours, not just as a Young Player. At this rate, it would be a glaring omission if Palmer were not included in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024.
