Loan Watch: Godfrey assists at the top

It was another fascinating weekend in the FA Women’s Championship and Gunners loanee Freya Godfrey played a pivotal role.

She came on in the 70th minute of Charlton Athletic’s 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland on Sunday, winning the ball in the middle of the park and providing the assist for Tegan McGowan to open the scoring in the 90th minute.

It was a quiet week for men’s club football during the November international break, but Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand featured in the first half for FC Den Bosch as they lost 4-1 at home to SC Telstar to go 19th in the Eerste Divisie.

In Sky Bet League Two, Wrexham are fourth with 33 points, seven shy of leaders Stockport County, after their 2-0 defeat away to Accrington Stanley on Saturday, which Arthur Okonkwo played 90 minutes of.
