Manager Gareth Southgate's decision to bring midfielder Cole Palmer on as a substitute in the 70th minute of the Euro final against Spain paid near-immediate dividends for England. Just three minutes after Palmer entered the fray, he struck a picture perfect shot from outside the box to beat goalkeeper Unai Simón and tie the score at 1–1.
England had surrendered a goal early into the second half, prompting Southgate to bring on the Chelsea superstar in place of Manchester United central midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
