England were held to a 1-1 draw, with Palmer replacing Phil Foden with just over half an hour to play at Wembley.

Tuchel had expressed his love for Palmer in the build up to the game, and the 23-year-old responded with a positive performance.

National media give verdict on Cole Palmer England performance

Palmer took the corner which led to Ben White scoring England’s goal, and he was allowed to operate in a central position, whilst he’s played more from the right for Chelsea.

The former Manchester City star was one of the only players to pick up the ball and drive forward with it, and the national media were in agreement when discussing his performance.

BBC – The start of the battle for the number 10 position for Palmer. Brought on in place of Foden and the Chelsea playmaker looked to make things happen and should have had an assist when his free-kick was headed wide from close range by Calvert-Lewin. 6/10

iPaper – On in the 56th minute for Foden and delivered a terrific ball for the striker below with 20 minutes to go. Wanted the ball often and impressed more than the Manchester City man he replaced, and it was from his corner where England scored. If you think this score is too generous, it’s warranted for the impact he made. 8/10
