Dele Alli claimed Chelsea players were 'showing their age' when they squabbled over who would take a penalty in Monday's 6-0 thrashing of Everton.

Three Blues stars were involved in a pushing contest when Noni Madueke was fouled in the penalty area and 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 pushing each other and forcing Conor Gallagher and Malo Gusto to break-up the public altercation at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer eventually grabbed hold of the ball and stepped up to smash a strike 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 offered up an honest verdict on the unruly behaviour demonstrated by the Chelsea stars.

'This for me is them showing their age,' said Alli when giving his analysis of the incident.

'I am not there at the training ground every day or know who is the designated penalty taker. 

'As far as I'm aware in the last big game when pressure was on in the last minute I didn't see them all fighting to take it then,' he added.

Alli then offered genuine advice to the rival strikers as he watched Everton slump to a disappointing defeat at Stamford Bridge, continuing: 'It's alright 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 an unpressurised situation.

'It's a shame as they did have an amazing night and people are talking about this rather than their amazing performance,' he said.

Pochettino later fumed after the game that he will punish Chelsea players who step out of line in such fashion again.

Jamie Carragher echoed similar criticism of Chelsea players and labelled them as 'daft' for contesting who should be on penalty duties.

'It's daft, I mean come on lads. Pochettino is going to get asked about this after the game.

'They've just won 6-0 and it's their best result of the season, a great night for everyone.'
