Raheem Sterling & Cole Palmer in strange on-pitch spat over who should take Chelsea penalty vs Arsenal - with Enzo Fernandez forced to step in & make final call

The Blues were given a penalty early on in the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge and Palmer seemed eager to take the spot kick as he picked up the ball.

Sterling stepped in and argued that he should be the one to take the penalty and a brief spat unfolded.

Enzo Fernandez stepped in as the peacemaker before long, giving the young summer signing the nod to take it.

After refusing his older team-mate's request to take it, the pressure was on Palmer to deliver the goods in the London derby.

Fortunately for the 21-year-old, he made no mistake from the spot and sent it past David Raya to open the scoring.

Palmer, who joined from Manchester City at the end of the summer transfer period, now has two Premier League goals to his name from six matches for Chelsea in the English top-flight. He had opened his account with a penalty in the 4-1 win against Burnley before the international break. At the age of 21 years and 168 days, Palmer also becomes the third-youngest player to score a penalty in back-to-back Premier League appearances, behind only Bukayo Saka (20y 230d) and Peter Ndlovu (21y 50d).

After Saturday's match against the Gunners, Chelsea will take on Brentford in the Premier League on October 28.
