BBC pundit warns PalmerChelsea player scored panenka penaltyDescribed as 'taking the Michael'Getty ImagesWHAT 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.

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.
GettyWHAT 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."
DID YOU KNOW?
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.
