England continued their preparations for Euro 2024 with a 3-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina at St James’ Park.

Cole Palmer, in his first start for England, converted a penalty on the hour mark after Ezri Konsa was fouled.

Trent Alexander-Arnold added a volley five minutes from time, and Harry Kane scored from close range to round off the victory.

Eberechi Eze showed promise in his debut before being substituted.

Manager Gareth Southgate also handed first full caps to Jarrad Branthwaite and Adam Wharton.

With many first-choice players unavailable, the match had an experimental feel, but England’s late goals provided a convincing finish.

Palmer’s performance impressed, adding to his remarkable season, while Alexander-Arnold showcased his attacking potential.

Southgate now turns his attention to finalizing the squad for the tournament, with a friendly against Iceland at Wembley up next.
