Palace’s loanees have been in exceptional form recently, both on the weekend and in midweek action - here’s how they all got on!

Promotion-chasing AFC Wimbledon managed to earn another three points and another clean sheet this weekend, bringing Owen Goodman’s tally of clean sheets up to a remarkable 17 for the season across all competitions.

The Dons saw off Salford City, with Goodman making three crucial saves to deny the Ammies from scoring.

Hot on the heels of Goodman is fellow goalkeeper Joe Whitworth who registered an 11th clean sheet of the campaign for Exeter City in their 1-0 win away at Cambridge United.

He also enjoyed a solid performance against Premier League high-fliers Nottingham Forest in midweek in the FA Cup - making nine saves and taking the game all the way to penalties. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be for the Grecians as Forest won 4-2 following the spot kicks.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi netted his sixth goal of the campaign in midweek for Sheffield United, opening the scoring against Middlesbrough in a 3-1 win at Bramall Lane. He also played a further 45 minutes on the weekend in their 1-0 win away at Luton Town.

Rak-Sakyi and the Blades currently sit top of the Championship table, a point clear of Leeds United. Rob Holding also featured for the Blades, making his debut as a late substitute against Middlesbrough before playing 45 minutes in the game against Luton Town.

David Ozoh continued his return from injury in midweek action, featuring for Derby County in their 0-0 draw against Oxford United.

Left-back Tayo Adaramola made his first start for Bradford City as they continued their promotion push in League Two. He kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw away at Newport County and won the Man of the Match award.

Fellow full-back Danny Imray also kept a clean sheet in action for Bromley in a 1-0 win against Fleetwood Town, building on his clean sheet and assist last time out against MK Dons.

The experienced Jeffrey Schlupp was also playing as full-back for Celtic in their 3-0 win over Dundee United, playing 71 minutes. This was his second appearance for Celtic, after making his debut in midweek action against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Jadan Raymond also made his debut for Queens Park this weekend, coming on for 15 minutes in their narrow defeat to Hamilton. He was also on the bench for their remarkable win against Rangers in the Scottish Cup.

Elsewhere in Scotland, Killian Phillips made it 23 consecutive starts in the Scottish Premiership for St Mirren, helping them back into the top half of the league in a 0-0 draw against Hibernian. Luke Plange also featured off the bench for Motherwell against Ross County, though they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Ross County.

Naouirou Ahamada came off the bench in Rennes’ defeat to Lyon, playing 18 minutes. Meanwhile Jemiah Umolu came on late for Port Vale in their 1-0 win over Notts County.

Finally, Jack Wells-Morrison played the full 90 for Solihull Moors, making it two consecutive starts since moving on loan to The Moors.
