WHAT HAPPENED? As England U21 played their first U21 Euro qualifier, Palmer finished off with a lethal finish on his left foot to help the Three Lions to a comfortable 3-0 win. Palmer's new employers will be very happy with his performance throughout the game as he also assisted the first for his former Manchester City teammate, Liam Delap.
