  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Crooks chose Palmer in his latest BBC Team of the Week for the 21-year-old's two goals in Chelsea's 2-2 draw against 10-man Burnley at Stamford Bridge. But the former Tottenham striker took exception to Palmer's dinked finish from the spot for the opener, especially given the controversial nature of the decision.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Crooks, whose playing career spanned three decades from 1976 until 1990, implied that opponents could consider a panenka penalty to be disrespectful, leading them to dish out their own form of rough justice on the Chelsea star in the future.

  WHAT CROOKS SAID

  Crooks said: "The way Palmer dispatched his penalty showed he has supreme confidence in his own ability. But his dinked finish was bordering on 'taking the Michael' and players have a way of dealing with that. If he's not careful he may have his wings clipped."

  A 'Panenka' penalty is so-called after the style of chipped finish in the centre of the goal, often embarrassing a goalkeeper who has committed to a dive one way or the other, was first notably put into practice by Czechoslovakia midfielder Antonin Panenka in the shootout that decided the Euro 1976 final against Germany.
