Loan Watch: Goals galore from Gunners loanees

There were plenty of goalscorers among our Gunners loanees last week.

Starting with Charlie Patino, who scored the opening goal of Swansea City’s game against Rotherham United, he helped the Welsh side to a 2-1 win to go up to 16th in the Sky Bet Championship.

He now has three goals and four assists in 15 Championship appearances this season.

As for Mika Biereth, after being involved in Motherwell’s 3-0 defeat at Ross County on Tuesday, he headed home the 92nd minute equaliser in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to St. Johnstone.

That takes his tally up to five goals in nine Scottish Premiership games this season. Motherwell are 10th in the league, level on points with St. Johnstone but with a better goal difference.
