News about Noni Madueke

Long after full-time, once Stamford Bridge had emptied to leave only the cleaners in the stands, Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart emerged from the tunnel full of smiles after one of their regular visits to the Chelsea changing room. The dual sporting directors have reason to hope that their signings are showcasing their worth in time to secure European football - from Noni Madueke to Moises Caicedo to Nicolas Jackson - though they cannot claim credit for one of the catalysts in this upturn in form.

KIERAN GILL AND KATHRYN BATTE AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea kept up their chase for a European spot by hitting West Ham for five at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.  Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke all scored in the first half for the Blues as they looked to build on Thursday's victory against bitter rivals Tottenham. Nicolas Jackson nabbed a second half brace, to extend Chelsea's lead over the Hammers in the Premier League table.

Mauricio Pochettino hailed his 'intelligent' Chelsea team for learning from past mistakes in their thrashing of West Ham yesterday. The Blues put five goals past David Moyes' side at Stamford Bridge but Pochettino was particularly pleased by the fourth, which saw Noni Madueke unselfishly set-up team-mate Nicolas Jackson for a tap-in. Madeuke and Jackson were involved in a heated row during Chelsea's 6-0 victory over Everton last month, with both players attempting to take a penalty instead of designated taker Cole Palmer.

KIERAN GILL: Chelsea maintained their hopes of securing European football next season with a thumping 5-0 win over West Ham. Cole Palmer opened the scoring after 15 minutes before Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke added another two before the break.  Nicolas Jackson then took his tally for the week to three with a second-half win to top off a superb week for Chelsea. 

Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos has taken to social media to break silence on the controversial decision to disallow Axel Disasi's goal for Chelsea at Villa Park. The Blues were trailing 2-0 at half-time but were impressive in the second period and goals from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher levelled things up.

Chelsea 's Noni Madueke had to be dragged away by the Chelsea coaching staff and his teammates after complaining to referee Craig Pawson following the Blues 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. The striker was incensed after Chelsea were denied a late winner when Axel Disasi's injury-time goal was ruled by a VAR check. The French defender thought he had won all three points when he headed home a 97th-minute winner after the Blues had come back from 2-0 down at Villa Park. However, the jubilant celebrations were stopped short when a VAR review spotted a foul in the build up to the goal. Benoit Badiashile appeared to shove Diego Carlos in the back as the ball was dropping into the box before he crossed the ball into Disasi for the goal.

Mauricio Pochettino reacted with five words after Chelsea had a late goal controversially ruled out against Aston Villa.  The Blues fell behind to a Marc Cucurella's early own-goal and Morgan Rogers' strike just before the break.  But they fought back strongly and were rewarded when Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher drew the game level. 

Chelsea saw a last-gasp winner ruled out as they staged a second-half fightback at Aston Villa to salvage a point and keep their stuttering European hopes alive. Unai Emery's side looked on course to all but seal a spot in next season's Champions League after taking a two-goal lead into the break but the Blues rallied. An own goal from Marc Cucurella after John McGinn's badly mishit cross nudged Villa ahead, and Morgan Rogers doubled their advantage before half-time.

KIERAN GILL AND JACK GAUGHAN AT WEMBLEY: Holders Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 with a late Bernardo Silva goal on Saturday to reach the FA Cup final. Silva sidefooted the ball home in the 84th minute after Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic parried a shot from former Blues midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. Both keepers were busy with De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish missing chances for City, while Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke had efforts saved by Stefan Ortega, smothered by the City defence or lost to wayward shots. 

Cesc Fabregas has given his verdict on Chelsea's penalty chaos against Everton on Monday that saw Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson argue over who would take a crucial spot-kick. The former Arsenal and Chelsea Premier League winner fumed about the public display of chaos at Stamford Bridge and insisted he 'hated' watching the scene unfold.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has insisted his side have 'moved on' from the penalty debacle that marred their 6-0 win over Everton this week.  The Blues romped to one of their best wins this season against the Toffees on Monday night, but a squabble over who would take a penalty with the score at 4-0 was the main talking point after the game.  Noni Madueke was seen picking up the ball after James Tarkowski fouled the winger, before an enraged Nicolas Jackson attempted to grab it off him. The pair continued to argue as Madueke carried the ball towards the penalty spot, before Cole Palmer - already on a hat-trick - pointed out he was the team's designated taker. 

Chris Sutton has dubbed Chelsea's dressing room a 'cesspit of over-inflated egos' following the on-pitch scrap over who would take the penalty against Everton on Monday night. Cole Palmer was already on a hat-trick when the Blues - who were leading 4-0 - won a penalty after Noni Madueke was brought down in the box, and having netted nine times from the spot this season was primed to step up once again. But his efforts were delayed when a tussle broke out between Madueke and Nicolas Jackson over whether one of them might take the spot kick.

The squad list from England's 4-3 defeat by Belgium at St George's Park one winter day was bursting at the seams with fresh talent. Indeed, you could build a passable midfield for the men's team from the names that took to the pitch and bench that day.

Forget the ludicrous own goals, daft celebrations and referees losing their footing. Nothing in football brings a chuckle quite like two team-mates forgetting about the opposition and having a pop at one another instead. Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson's primary school routine is the latest in a long line of incidents that we are all quick to condemn as disgraceful, but really make us all laugh quite a lot. Chelsea's 6-0 thumping of Everton was overshadowed by the farcical scenes as Cole Palmer shoved Jackson away after he tried to grab the ball off him - despite the Blues' top scorer already netting a hat-trick at the time. 

Nicolas Jackson had a solid reason behind his desire to take the Chelsea penalty that caused a squabble among Blues team-mates on Monday. Three Chelsea players were embroiled in a physical row before the hosts' fifth goal against Everton at Stamford Bridge, with Noni Madueke and Jackson involved in a squabble that had to be broken up by Conor Gallagher and Malo Gusto. Cole Palmer took control of the ball and scored his fourth of the game, but afterwards, it became clear why Jackson wanted to get a chance to score his second of the contest.  

Mauricio Pochettino was embroiled in a spat with Chelsea's former stadium announcer who accused him of 's*** management of his press conference' after the Blues thrashed Everton 6-0 on Monday night. The emphatic win was marred by a squabble involving four Chelsea players over penalty-taking duties. Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke forcefully took the ball off Malo Gusto's hands after the Blues were awarded a penalty in the second half.

Nicolas Jackson continued Chelsea's bizarre penalty row after full-time of their 6-0 win over Everton as he was spotted arguing with Moises Caicedo. Mauricio Pochettino's side thrashed the struggling Toffees following an impressive display , but an embarrassing on-field argument over who should take a spot-kick overshadowed the win. After Jackson and Noni Madueke debated who should take the 64th-minute penalty when the score was 4-0 , Cole Palmer eventually had to pull rank and take the kick himself.

New footage of Chelsea's latest penalty row shows Noni Madueke snatching the ball and giving Nicolas Jackson a rollicking - before Cole Palmer pulls rank to score it. The embarrassing moment, in the 64th minute of Chelsea's 6-0 thrashing of Everton on Monday night, left manager Mauricio Pochettino furious. The fresh camera angle of the incident, shown on Sky Sports, shows the immediate aftermath of James Tarkowski's foul on Palmer to concede the penalty.

Cole Palmer has emphatically told his Chelsea team-mates 'I am our penalty taker' after yet another row in Monday night's thrashing of Everton. Mauricio Pochettino's side smashed six goals past the struggling Toffees but another embarrassing on-field argument over who should take a spot-kick overshadowed the win. After Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke debated who should take the 64th-minute kick, Palmer eventually had to pull rank and take the kick himself.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Mauricio Pochettino made a prediction when addressing his players in the confines of Chelsea's changing room, his mood not matching that of a manager whose team had triumphed 6-0. He told them that the first question in his post-match press conference would not be on their brilliance, or Cole Palmer, or how nicely this set them up for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City. It would be on the penalty; the negative that marred the positives. And he was right. Pochettino faced five questions in that presser, the first four on Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke fighting over who should take that spot-kick until Palmer finally scored his fourth goal on an evening where the embarrassment should have been reserved only for Everton.

Dele Alli claimed Chelsea players Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke 'showed their age' after fighting over who would take a penalty in Monday's 6-0 thrashing of Everton 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.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Cole Palmer destroyed Everton with a four-goal haul that reignited Chelsea's push for a European place, but his manager Mauricio Pochettino said this sensational victory was marred by the sight of his players fighting over who got to take a penalty kick. Everton endured a highly embarrassing evening as Palmer netted a perfect hat-trick in the space of 16 minutes. He later added his fourth from a spot-kick, though only after a remarkable row ignited between Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke. Palmer eventually pulled rank to leave himself tied with Manchester City's Erling Haaland on 20 goals at the top of the Premier League's scoring charts, with Jackson and academy starlet Alfie Gilchrist also getting on the scoresheet.

Following Chelsea's 2-2 draw away from Sheffield United, Noni Madueke has revealed that the Chelsea team was'silent.' Chelsea had taken the lead through Thiago Silva before Omar Bogle equalized for the Blades. Madueke restored the Blues' advantage, but Chelsea's frustrations were unveiled as Oli McBurnie scored an equalizer for Sheffield United in stoppage time. Madueke had been adamant that Chelsea should have won the game at Bramall Lane.
