Chelsea were leading 1-0 in the first-half of their FA Cup quarter-final clash with Leicester City at Stamford Bridge when Raheem Sterling won - and subsequently missed - a penalty, with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink unimpressed
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink took aim at Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher after Raheem Sterling's penalty miss in the FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester City, on a day where the ex-Liverpool and Manchester City man was viciously booed by home supporters.
But Sterling took control of the ball, rather than handing it to Palmer, and subsequently took the penalty himself - only for his poor effort to be saved by Leicester ‘keeper Jakub Stolarczyk. Martin Keown, on commentary for the BBC, declared: “There's no quality in that at all. No real purpose, no power, comfortable for the keeper.”
He said: “Palmer is the penalty taker. I used to be the penalty taker, at 1-0 I am not giving that up. It doesn’t matter if someone else is asking to take it. Sterling would tee up Palmer to score on the stroke of half-time to make it 2-0 before Leicester were given a way into the match through Axel Disasi’s horrendous own goal early in the second period.
