Loan Watch: Assists For Blues Duo

Two Everton loanees were in action for their temporary clubs this weekend and both attackers provided an offensive impact for their sides.

Elsewhere, bad weather conditions caused postponements across the country, ruling out game time for a couple of young Blues.

Here is an overview of what happened over the weekend in our Loan Watch... 

Stanley Mills - Oxford United   
Opponent: Blackpool (H)    
Competition: League One   
Date: Saturday 21 October    
Result: 1-1 draw 
Overview: Mills provided the assist for Oxford as they opened the scoring on Saturday. His well-placed chipped cross was guided into the Blackpool penalty area, where an oncoming Greg Leigh met the ball to put his team in front.

Mills had started the game, featuring for 62 minutes. Along with the assist, the 19-year-old completed two of his three dribbles and won three ground duels.

Oxford held the lead for most of the game, but Blackpool managed to score an equaliser through a Jordan Rhodes header in the 92nd minute.


Neal Maupay - Brentford
 
Opponent: Burnley (H) 
Competition: 
Premier League

3-0 win 
Overview: 
Maupay started in Saturday’s game, spearheading the Brentford attack in a 3-0 win. The on-loan Everton forward played 88 minutes and was unlucky to see a goal disallowed in the opening few minutes of the game.

Officials ruled out his back-post effort due to an offside in the build-up. Nevertheless, Maupay went on to be involved in the Bees’ first goal, sliding in Bryan Mbeumo, who played in Yoane Wissa.

Maupay also recorded the assist when Mbeumo doubled the lead, before a stunning strike by Saman Ghoddos sealed the win.
