Loan Watch: Kuhl scores lob in Everton cup rout

Kathrine Kuhl scored her first goal for Everton and played a part in two others during their 7-1 thrashing of Nottingham Forest in the Women’s FA Cup.

The Danish midfielder was influential in the Toffees’ comprehensive away win, kicking off the scoring with a stylish lob over the keeper after breaking through on goal.

She then grabbed on an assist when her cross was converted by Justine Vanhaevermaet, and created Everton’s fourth when her curling strike hit a post before going in off the goalkeeper, during an impressive 75-minute display.

In men’s football, it was a disappointing weekend for our two players plying their trade in the Premier League. Nuno Tavares twice helped his Nottingham Forest side equalise against Newcastle United but still ended up on the losing side in a 3-2 defeat, leaving his side two points above the relegation zone.

A point and a place below them is Luton Town, for whom Sambi Lokonga played all 90 minutes of their 3-1 defeat at home to Sheffield United.

In the Championship, Charlie Patino played the final 11 minutes of Swansea City’s 1-0 win at play-off chasing Hull City, which was the Swans’ first win since New Year’s Day. He was named on the bench alongside Charles Sagoe Jr before coming on to help his side over the line.

Arthur Okonkwo’s Wrexham suffered a blow in their hopes of gaining automatic promotion from League Two as a 90th-minute winner for Bradford City saw them triumph 1-0 at the Racecourse Ground. Arthur did keep his side in the game when he saved an Andy Cook penalty with seven minutes to go, but in the dying moments the same man netted at the second attempt after Arthur had kept out his initial effort.

That was the Red Dragon’s fourth defeat in a row in all competitions but they are still only two points off the top three, with games in hand.

Alex Kirk was in FA Trophy action as Bromley booked a spot in the quarter-final with a 2-0 win against Aveley, but Kido Taylor-Hart remained on the bench for the Ravens.

In Europe, Mika Biereth made his league debut for Sturm Graz in a top-of-the-table clash against RB Salzburg. Mika featured for 66 minutes of the 1-1 draw, which leaves his side two points behind their title rivals.

Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand got another hour of football under his belt as he continues his recovery from injury, but saw his Den Bosch side defeated 3-0 by high-flying Den Haag.

Returning to the women’s game, Katie Doe came on a sub as Ipswich Town were pegged back by two late Cheltenham Town goals to draw 2-2 in the WPL Premier Division, a result that leaves them fifth in the table.

Gio Queiroz was also in action, playing 90 minutes in Madrid CFF's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.
