A number of Palace’s loanees have been in action over the weekend and in midweek, find out how all of them got on below!

Starting in the Championship, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi notched his first assist for the Blades in their 2-0 win over Stoke City at Bramall Lane.

The winger used his tricky feet to easily breeze past the Potters’ captain Ben Gibson, leaving him in the lurch as he raced towards the box. He played a simple pass for Tyrese Campbell to pick up on the turn and fire home for the Blades’ second and final goal of the game.

This win made up for the narrow 1-0 defeat away at Middlesbrough in midweek, where Rak-Sakyi played 90 minutes. Sheffield United currently sit in fourth place, a point off second place Burnley and third place Leeds, while being five behind leaders Sunderland.

Elsewhere in the EFL, Owen Goodman kept his sixth clean sheet of the campaign in midweek, as AFC Wimbledon beat Morecambe 3-0 in midweek at Plough Lane.

He had a relatively comfortable game, only dealing with two shots on target from the Shrimps. He did have a tougher test against league leaders Port Vale, where the Dons fell to a 3-2 defeat on Saturday.

Joe Whitworth also had a tricky week with Exeter City as they suffered back-to-back defeats against Reading and Huddersfield Town.

Exeter have slipped to 10th place in League One following these games, while AFC Wimbledon are 12th in League Two.

Defender Danny Imray has continued his strong start to life at Bromley, where he played the full 90 minutes and helped them to a late 1-1 draw at home to Barrow. Bromley are currently 18th in League Two after earning that point.

Elsewhere on the continent, Luke Plange enjoyed another taste of European football as he came on in the second-half for HJK Helsinki in their UEFA Europa Conference League game against Dinamo Minsk.

Ademola Ola-Adebomi unfortunately only played 23 minutes for SK Beveren against RSC Anderlecht U23s in the Challenger Pro League before going off injured.

Both Jack Wells-Morrison and Roshaun Mathurin were limited to minutes off the bench in the National League for Wealdstone and Hartlepool United respectively.

Odsonne Edouard and Naouirou Ahamada were both unused substitutes for Leicester City and Stade de Rennes respectively, as they faced mid-week clashes against Nottingham Forest and Brest.
