Four of our players were in action for their respective loan clubs over the weekend - but how did they perform? Read on to find out:

Joe Willock scored his fifth goal in as many games for Newcastle as they were beaten 4-3 at home to Manchester City on Friday evening.

Our 21-year-old midfielder had converted against Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool and Leicester in recent weeks - and his latest strike means he becomes the youngest player to score in five consecutive Premier League appearances since Jose Antonio Reyes in September 2004.

Willock's influence has proved crucial in guiding Steve Bruce's side to safety this season. The Magpies currently sit 16th in the table after picking up 39 points from 36 games.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles played 18 minutes for West Brom in their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. Sam Allardyce's side took an early lead through Hal Robson-Kanu before Mohamed Salah's snapshot beat Sam Johnstone low to his right.

The game looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw before Liverpool keeper Alisson came up for a last-minute corner and headed home to seal the win.

In France, William Saliba played the full match as Nice were beaten 2-0 by Strasbourg in Ligue 1. A brace from Ludovic Ajorque means Saliba's side stay ninth in the table after 37 games.

Finally, Joseph Olowu played the full match as Wealdstone drew 0-0 with Chesterfield on Saturday.
