It was another busy weekend of football with many of our Everton loanees in action for their temporary clubs. Here is an overview of how our players performed in this week’s Loan Watch... 

Zan-Luk Leban – Farsley Celtic

Overview: A week on from earning the Player of the Match award against Scunthorpe United, Leban produced another fine display to help Farsley Celtic to earn a point over the promotion-seeking Curzon Ashton.

Farsley twice hit the woodwork during a dominant first-half performance, but the hosts looked improved after the interval.

The 21-year-old Leban was called into action to save free-kicks from Jordan Richards and Rhys Hughes, before pulling out a crucial stop to deny Jimmy Spencer during the final minutes of the contest.

He has now returned to Finch Farm, where Mills will undergo surgery before rehabilitation under the care of Everton medical staff.
