Joe Willock was on target again for Newcastle this weekend as his 95th-minute strike earned the Magpies a point against Liverpool at Anfield.

Our 21-year-old Hale End graduate replaced Ciaran Clark after the hour mark with his side trailing 1-0 and pounced on Dwight Gayle's header-down to notch his third goal in his last three games. The 1-1 draw leaves Newcastle 16th in the table after 33 games.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles played 85 minutes as West Brom drew 2-2 with Aston Villa on Sunday at Villa Park. Matheus Pereira's 23rd-minute strike cancelled out Anwar El-Ghazi's opener before Tyrone Mings put the ball in his own net to give West Brom the lead. Keinan Davis had the last word, though - equalising for Aston Villa in the 92nd-minute to share the points.

William Saliba played the full match as Nice beat Montpellier 3-1 in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Our on-loan defender has been in fine form this term, helping Nice to ninth in the table with four games remaining this season.

Lucas Torreira played 26 minutes for Atletico Madrid on Sunday in their 2-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao. Our Uruguayan midfielder replaced Angel Correa on the hour mark but was powerless to prevent Inigo Martinez's late winner. The result saw Diego Simeone's side drop three crucial points in their hunt for an 11th La Liga title.

Sead Kolasinac played the entire game as Schalke lost 1-0 against Bielefeld in the Bundesliga. The German outfit, who were already relegated going into the match, have picked up just 13 points from 30 games this season.

Harry Clarke played the full match as Oldham lost 2-1 against Grimsby at Boundary Park. Keith Curle's side has already secured safety in League Two but will have been frustrated not to pick up points against bottom of the table Grimsby.

Mark McGuinness played the entire game and kept a clean sheet as Ipswich drew 0-0 with AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. Our young defender put in a solid performance at the back, guiding his side to 11th in the league after 43 games.

Daniel Ballard played the full match as Blackpool lost 1-0 to Shrewsbury in League One. Our 21-year-old defender was starting his sixth game in a row for his loan side but couldn't prevent them from slipping to back-to-back defeats in the league.

Joseph Olowu played 90 minutes as Wealdstone lost 2-0 to Aldershot at the Recreation Ground this weekend. Goals from Harry Panayiotou and Chike Kandi settled this one.

Tyreece John-Jules played 62 minutes as Doncaster lost 1-0 to Fleetwood at home. Our 20-year-old striker has featured in every game since his return from injury against Shrewsbury earlier this month but couldn't prevent his side from slipping to defeat on Saturday.
