The 19-year-old midfielder has been in impressive form for City's youth teams and was rewarded with a place in the first-team squad for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Palmer didn't let his manager down, putting in a mature performance and scoring City's second goal in a 5-0 win. He also set up Riyad Mahrez for the third goal.
After the game, Palmer said: "It was a dream come true to make my Premier League debut. I've been working hard for this moment and I'm so grateful to the manager for giving me the opportunity.
"I thought I played well and I'm happy with my contribution to the team. We played really well and deserved to win.
Palmer's performance was all the more impressive considering he was playing in place of the injured Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian is one of the best midfielders in the world, so Palmer had big shoes to fill.

He has represented England at youth level and is likely to be in contention for a place in the senior squad in the future.
Palmer is a versatile player who can play in a number of midfield positions. He is a good passer of the ball and has an eye for goal.
He is also a hard worker and is always willing to learn. He is a great asset to City and is sure to have a bright future in the game.
