Palmer smashes two European Championship records

Chelsea attacking midfielder Cole Palmer scored England’s fastest substitute goal at the Uefa European Championships after netting an equaliser against Spain in the final just 142 seconds after coming off the bench.

Palmer’s goal was also the second fastest by any substitute in a European Championship final, beaten only by former Chelsea attacking midfielder Juan Mata who scored for Spain in the Euro 2012 final after just 100 seconds.

In addition, the England international became the youngest ever substitute to score in a European Championship final at 22 years and 69 days old.
