_- Seven on-loan Leicester City players featured for their adopted clubs over the weekend__- Matty James (Barnsley) and Josh Knight (Wycombe) both starred in Sky Bet Championship wins__- James then played 80 minutes in Tuesday's loss to Cardiff- Mitch Clark also helped Port Vale to success in League 2, while there were EFL defeats for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, George Hirst and Sam Hughes_- Kamal Sowah's recent scoring run for OH Leuven came to an end in their loss at Beerschot

James, making his third league appearance in seven days for the Yorkshire club, started the game before being replaced by Herbie Kane on 73 minutes at Oakwell.

Alex Mowatt's sixth minute strike had given the hosts an early lead and the Tykes saw out the win against one of the promotion favourites.

Then, on Tuesday 3 November, Barnsley visited Cardiff City Stadium, with James playing 80 minutes in a 3-0 loss to the Welsh side.

Josh Knight was also on the winning side as Wycombe Wanderers beat Sheffield Wednesday by the same scoreline at Adams Park.

The defender played the full match, keeping a clean sheet for the first time in 2020/21 on his fifth start for the club.

It was a maiden victory of the campaign at the ninth attempt for Gareth Ainsworth's side and lifts the Chairboys to within two points of 22nd place Derby.

Wanderers travel to face Birmingham City at St. Andrew's on Wednesday 4 November (7:45pm kick-off) and then visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday 7 November (3pm kick-off).

Also in the Championship, Kieran Dewsbury-Hall played 90 minutes in Luton Town's 3-0 home defeat to Brentford.

The 22-year-old was making his third league start for the Hatters, who are currently 13th in the second tier table with 13 points from their opening nine games.

Luton are on the road twice this week, facing Rotherham United away on Wednesday 4 November (7:45pm kick-off) before a trip to Huddersfield Town on Saturday 7 November (3pm kick-off).

Staying in the second tier, George Hirst made a substitute appearance for Rotherham in their narrow 1-0 away loss against Stoke City at bet365 Stadium.

Coming on as a 70th minute replacement for Freddie Lapado, the forward was unable to grab an equaliser after James McLean's first-half opener.

Hirst could come up against fellow Foxes loanee Dewsbury-Hall when the Millers host Luton on Wednesday, before another home game this Saturday, against Preston (3pm kick-off).

Elsewhere, Sam Hughes played 90 minutes as Burton Albion fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Blackpool at Pirelli Stadium on Saturday.

The centre-back was appearing for the sixth time for the Sky Bet League 2 Club, before his seventh appearance followed on Tuesday in a 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury Town.

In Sky Bet League 2, Mitch Clark helped Port Vale record a 2-0 away victory over Southend at Roots Hall. The full-back, fresh from scoring his first senior goal last weekend, played 90 minutes for John Askey's side, who sit fifth in the standings, just one point behind second placed Cambridge United.

Vale are in Emirates FA Cup First Round action on Saturday 7 November, facing National League South outfit Kings Lynn Town at Vale Park (3pm kick-off).

Over in Belgium, Kamal Sowah played the full game as Oud-Heverlee Leuven lost 4-2 against K Beerschot VA in the Jupiler Pro League. Goals from Thomas Henry and Xavier Mercier were not enough for Marc Brys' side to take anything from the game at Olympisch Stadion Antwerp.

Daniel Iversen and Josh Eppiah did not feature for the Whites, who slip down to eighth in the top tier of Belgian football, after 11 matches.
