The Chelsea midfielder ℱkept his cool from the spot to puไt England ahead in the 60th minute after a frustrating goalless first half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold made sure of the victory in the 85th minute, striking a superb low volley around Nikola Vasi🌠lj and into the bottom corner.
Harry Kane, off the bench, added a third from close ♊range, pouncing on the loose ball after Ezri Konsa had inadvertently blocked Jarrod Bowen's shot on the line.

Palmer is just the fifth player to see his first-ever England goal come from the penalty spot, after Tommy Lawton (1938), Alf Ramsey (1951), Allan Clarke (1970) and Ivan Toney (2024ꩵ).
Not only did Alexander-Arnold score his third goal for the Three Lions in this game, but he also created five chances, at least three more tha🎉n any other player on the pitch.
Kane may not have started, but his late strike is the 12th 🦂goal he has scored in his last 12 matches for the national side across all c🍌ompetitions.
