Whenever a team has a night like that, and let's face it Chelsea haven't had a night like that for some considerable time, nothing should be allowed to overshadow it. However, the incident surrounding their 64th-minute penalty, with team-mates trying to wrestle the ball from each other to take a spot-kick in order to obtain a cheap goal for themselves, needs some perspective. The incident was something straight out of the school playground, and certainly not worthy of a Premier League fixture.
Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson are two young Chelsea players who know how to play football, but clearly they haven't been taught how to conduct themselves.
Still, it also seems a bit harsh from Crooks to single Gallagher out when the blame surely mostly lies with players like Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke themselves.
