“It’s a shame. We cannot behave in this way. I told them this is the last time for this type of behaviour,” he told Sky Sports.“I made it clear to them – and I am making it clear to to the fans – that Cole Palmer is the taker. If he wants to give it another…but not in this way.Palmer was also asked about the incident and admitted the arguing between the players may have been “over the top”.
“Other players wanted to take it, which is understandable as it’s 4-0, but I’m the penalty taker and I took it,” added Palmer.Cole Palmer did *that* after Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal all lost.
