Everton Loan Round-Up - 23 January

Loan Round-Up - 23 January

Conor Grant was the pick of Everton's on loan contingent as his goal helped Doncaster Rovers beat Crewe Alexandra.

After opening the scoring for Rovers in their League Two encounter with the Alex, the young midfielder set up the second in a 3-1 win that helped them remain top of the table.



In the Premier League, Tom Cleverley made his first start for Watford and set up Troy Deeney for the Hornets’ second goal in their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. Benik Afobe rescued a late point for the Cherries.

Oumar Niasse also featured, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute in Hull City’s 2-0 loss at Chelsea.

Dropping into the Championship, Aiden McGeady earned an assist as he teed up Preston North End striker Jordan Hugill’s equaliser, helping the Lilywhites come from 2-0 down to draw with Aston Villa.

McGeady had earlier conceded a harsh penalty in an eventful afternoon for the Republic of Ireland international.

Callum Connolly and Gethin Jones both played the full 90 minutes for Wigan Athletic and Barnsley respectively, earning the plaudits of their managers
for their performances. The Latics made it two straight wins with a 2-1 success over Brentford, while the Tykes edged a five-goal thriller in the Yorkshire derby against Leeds United.

Brendan Galloway (West Brom) and Delial Brewster (Southport) were not involved at the weekend, while Shani Tarashaj was an unused substitute as Frankfut lost 3-0 to high-flying Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

Antony Evans must also wait for his Morecambe debut after their match at Leyton Orient was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
