'He's going straight to the top' - Man City fans react to Cole Palmer's Champions League goal

Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer scored on his Champions League debut within minutes of coming on as a substitute and fans have taken to social media to warn rival fans this is just the start.

Palmer scored his first goal as a professional last month in the Carabao Cup and has made a handful of appearances off the bench so far this season.

On Saturday he came on in the final minute of the game in the Premier League against Burnley before turning out for the Under-23s the same evening.

Being handed his first taste of European football against Club Brugge on Tuesday night, Palmer needed minutes to find the back of the net in the 5-1 win in Belgium.

Being teed up by fellow sub Raheem Sterling, Palmer proceeded to take a touch with his right foot before curling home with his left and was mobbed by teammates.

City fans took to social media to heap praise upon the City youngster who is making a name for himself this season.
