- Nine on-loan Leicester City players featured for their adopted clubs over the past seven days- Mitch Clark found the net in a 2-1 win over Oldham Athletic for Port Vale in Sky Bet League 2- Kamal Sowah helped OH Leuven to a 2-1 victory over Club Brugge in Belgium- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Matty James and Rachid Ghezzal also tasted success

The Leicester City youngster, set to spend until January 2021 on loan with the Valiants, found the net in a 2-1 success over Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park last Saturday.

Nathan Smith's 12th-minute opener put Vale ahead in Oldham, before Clark's stylish curler, from the edge of the area, doubled the visitors' advantage.

Zak Dearnley got one back for the Latics in the second half, but Clark and his team-mates held on, before also defeating Cheltenham Town 2-1 at Vale Park on Tuesday.

John Askey's outfit, who have won five of their nine matches, are currently seventh in the League 2 standings ahead of Saturday's visit to face Southend United (3pm kick-off).

In Belgium, Kamal Sowah played the full game as Oud-Heverlee Leuven registered a brilliant 2-1 win over Club Brugge in the Jupiler Pro League at King Power at Den Dreef Stadium.

While Daniel Iversen and Josh Eppiah did not feature for the Whites, goals from Thomas Henry and Xavier Mercier sent Marc Brys' men up to sixth in the top tier of Belgian football after 10 matches.

Sowah has scored five goals in all competitions this term for OHL. They next head to Olympisch Stadion Antwerp on Saturday for their next league outing against Beerschot (3:15pm kick-off).

Elsewhere, defender Josh Knight, who is sometimes deployed as a midfielder, starred for 90 minutes in a 1-1 draw for Wycombe Wanderers with Watford in the Championship on Tuesday evening.

Despite Ismaïla Sarr putting the recently relegated Hornets in front, Anthony Stewart hit back for Wanderers at Adams Park in Knight's fourth outing for Gareth Ainsworth's side.

The Chairboys are still searching for their maiden victory in the second tier this term, following promotion in 2019/20, and next host Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon (3pm kick-off).

Also in the Championship, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was among the starters as Luton Town secured an impressive 1-0 victory over Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday.

Pelly Ruddock's only goal of the game, following a red card for Owls man Joost van Aken, sealed three points which propelled the Hatters up to 10th in the table.

Dewsbury-Hall could make his second outing for the Kenilworth Road club when they entertain Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening (7:45pm kick-off).

Matty James, on the other hand, starred from the bench, at half-time, during a 3-0 win for Barnsley over Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday, following his debut four days earlier.

Currently on his second loan spell at Oakwell, James joined the action with the Tykes already two goals ahead, courtesy of Cauley Woodrow and Conor Chaplin, before an Yoann Barbet own goal.

Sixteenth-placed Barnsley next welcome Watford to Oakwell on Saturday (3pm kick-off), before heading to Cardiff City, who have Filip Benković on loan, next Tuesday (7:45pm kick-off).

Academy graduate Darnell Johnson also featured on Saturday as Wigan Athletic held Plymouth Argyle to a 1-1 draw at DW Stadium, with Will Keane striking late on.

Johnson has made six appearances for Wigan, 19th in League 1, so far this term and could be called upon again on again on Saturday, when Northampton Town are the visitors (3pm kick-off).

Striker George Hirst, though, suffered defeat in his most recent outing for Rotherham United, who were beaten 3-0 by high-flying Reading in the Championship.

That loss, involving goals for Yakou Meite (2) and Lucas Joao, is followed by the visit of Sheffield Wednesday to New York Stadium on Wednesday evening (7:45pm kick-off).

Sam Hughes' Burton Albion, meanwhile, played out successive draws, with AFC Wimbledon and Peterborough United, ahead of welcoming Blackpool to Pirelli Stadium on Saturday (3pm kick-off).

Finally, winger Rachid Ghezzal was on the pitch for 86 minutes as the Algerian's debut for Beşiktaş ended in a 3-2 victory over Denizlispor in the Turkish Süper Lig on Monday.

Atiba Hutchinson, Vincent Aboubakar and Cyle Larin got the goals for Beşiktaş, who had Souza sent off midway through the second half. They sit 12th and host Yeni Mataltyspor on Sunday (4pm kick-off).
