Loan Watch: Stunning Saves From Blues Keepers

It was another busy weekend of football with many of our Everton loanees in action for their temporary clubs. Here is an overview of how some of our players performed in this week’s Loan Watch... 

Harry Tyrer - Chesterfield    Opponent: Eastleigh (H)Competition: National League    Date: Saturday 25 November    Result: 3-2 winOverview: Tyrer made another start for league-leading Chesterfield, as they picked up three points over Eastleigh to put them 11 clear at the top of the table.

The young goalkeeper was called on to make a plethora of top saves for his team - one of which arrived just seconds before their third goal.

Three goals up with 20 minutes remaining, a clean sheet looked likely for Tyrer, before Eastleigh threatened a late comeback. Goals in the 75th and 81st minute asked questions of the home side, but the Spireites held on for the victory.

Zan-Luk Leban - Farsley CelticOpponent: Hereford (H)Competition: National League NorthDate: Saturday 25 November Result: 0-0 drawOverview: Goalkeeper Leban put in a solid display to help his side towards a clean sheet on Saturday.

Just a point separated the sides going into the game, and they proved to be evenly matched during the 90 minutes.

With just four minutes remaining, Leban made a great save to deny Adam Rooney’s free header at the back post.

Stanley Mills - Oxford United   Opponent: Cheltenham (A)    Competition: League One   Date: Saturday 25 November    Result: 2-0 defeatOverview: Both sides ended Saturday’s encounter with 10 men, as Oxford fell to a disappointing defeat to Cheltenham.

Making consecutive starts for the U’s, Mills played the first 45 minutes and recorded a 100 per cent pass-completion rate. A goal down at half-time, Oxford conceded again in the second half – not long after Mills’ teammate Ruben Rodrigues was dismissed.

Reece Welch - Forest Green   Opponent: Walsall (A)     Competition: League Two    Date: Saturday 25 November     Result: 0-0 draw    Overview: Arriving onto the field after 70 minutes, centre-back Welch contributed towards a well-earned clean sheet for Forest Green on the road.

The young defender will be hoping for more minutes when his side take on Bradford City on Tuesday evening.

Neal Maupay - Brentford Opponent: Arsenal (H) Competition: Premier LeagueDate: Saturday 25 November    Result: 1-0 defeat Overview: Brentford fell to an 89th-minute Kai Havertz goal in the all-London clash on Saturday.

In a close encounter, Maupay was introduced in the 72nd minute, replacing Yoane Wissa at 0-0.

The French forward came close to opening the scoring just five minutes after his arrival, as he saw his header blocked on the line, before the ball was drilled back towards him, and he misguided an effort just wide.

Lewis Warrington - Plymouth Argyle  Opponent: Sunderland (H)   Competition: Championship   Date: Saturday 25 November    Result: 2-0 win  Overview: Warrington was an unused substitute as Plymouth earned an impressive win over Sunderland.
