Two of our players featured for their loan clubs over the past weekend - read on to find out how they fared.
David Ospina played the entirety of Napoli’s 3-1 loss to Juventus. Dries Mertens opened the scoring with a simple finish from close range, before Mario Mandzukic equalised with a towering header before half time.
Mandzukic put the Old Lady in front after finishing Cristiano Ronaldo’s saved effort - and in the 76th minute, Leonardo Bonucci made it three with a tap in from a corner.
Matt Macey played 90 minutes of Plymouth Argyle’s 3-2 home defeat to Doncaster Rovers. John Maqruis broke the deadlock for the Rovers, before Ruben Lameiras levelled the score with less than five minutes remaining of the first half.
Graham Carey scored deep into stoppage time for the Pilgrims, but the visitors left with all three points thanks to second-half strikes Matty Blair and Maqruis.
Elsewhere, Reiss Nelson, Calum Chambers, Krystian Bielik and Takuma Asano did not feature.
