Fans watched an awkward moment between Cole Palmer and manager Gareth Southgate following England’s 1-1 draw with Denmark.

Palmer was an unused substitute as Southgate’s side produced a disappointing performance.

Palmer, 22, was one of the Premier League’s standout players last season, scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists in 33 games in his first season at Chelsea.

England lacked dynamism and certainly needed a different option in attack.

To the surprise of many, Southgate did not choose to turn to Palmer.

Many fans felt that Palmer was right to be frustrated with Southgate.

One wrote: “I’d be screwed too.”

Another stated: ‘Cold. Southgate didn’t match the aura.

One fan said he understood Palmer’s response. They wrote: “Well, I don’t blame him.”

Fans claimed Palmer was right to barely acknowledge England manager Southgate.

Palmer is still awaiting his tournament debut after he was also an unused substitute when England beat Serbia 1-0 in their opening group match.
