Conor Gallagher told he's to blame for penalty controversy vs Leicester, explained why

In the Leicester win, Raheem Sterling convinced Cole Palmer to give him the ball ahead of a penalty and duly missed the opportunity to increase Chelsea's lead.

However, according to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Conor Gallagher, who was the captain that day, should have done something to prevent this.

The ex-Blue said: "Gallagher, as a captain, you should go to Sterling and say, 'No. He’s the penalty taker. He’s taken five in a row; he’s scored all five. He needs to take it — it’s 1-0. Let’s secure this match first'. "

Back in October, the same thing nearly happened in the game against Arsenal. Sterling tried to take the ball away from Palmer, but Enzo Fernandez stepped in and gave the ball back to Cole who converted the penalty. The Argentinian midfielder was suspended for the Leicester match.
