Fans spotted an awkward moment between Cole Palmer and manager Gareth Southgate following England's 1-1 draw with Denmark.<br/><br/>Palmer was an unused substitute as Southgate's side produced a disappointing display.<br/><br/>22-year-old Palmer was one of the standout performers in the Premier League last season as he scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists in 33 games in his first campaign at Chelsea.<br/><br/>England lacked dynamism and was certainly in need of a different option in attack.<br/><br/>To the surprise of many, Southgate didn't elect to turn to Palmer. <br/><br/>After the game television cameras caught the moment Southgate attempted to shake hands with Palmer, who barely looked the manager in the eye.<br/><br/>Many fans felt that Palmer was right to be frustrated with Southgate.<br/><br/>One wrote:'Cold. Southgate didn't match the aura'.<br/><br/>One fan said that they understood Palmer's response. They wrote: 'Well I don’t blame him'.<br/><br/>In addition, another fan said that Palmer didn't look at Southgate at all. They wrote: 'Barely? He wasn't even looking at all my boy is pissed'.<br/><br/>Another fan wrote that the incident: 'Doesn't look great...'.<br/><br/>Furthermore, one fan accused Southgate of showing a lack of respect for Palmer.<br/><br/>They wrote: 'The right reaction… let him know dead on he lack respect for his game'.<br/><br/>One fan wrote: 'I don’t blame him', with another saying: 'Who wouldn't be pissed?'.<br/><br/>Palmer is still awaiting his tournament debut after being an unused substitute as England beat Serbia 1-0 in their opening group game.
