Slimani's Last-Minute Winner Seals Monaco Success Over Amiens
- Eleven Leicester City players featured while out on loan over the most recent weekend
- Islam Slimani scored as a Monaco side also featuring Adrien Silva beat Fousseni Diabaté's Amiens
- Filip Benković made his maiden appearance for Bristol City in the Sky Bet Championship
- Another six Foxes featured in the Football League, while Kamal Sowah starred in Belgium's second tier
Three Leicester City loanees featured at Stade de la Licorne, with Silva and Diabaté among the starters, while Slimani was introduced as a second-half substitute for the visitors.
Amiens took the lead inside just nine minutes through Sehrou Guirassy and looked destined for victory before Wissam Ben Yedder's 85th minute equaliser and a 90th-minute winner from Slimani.
It means the Algeria international's tally of goals rises to eight in Monaco colours, while he has also registered seven assists for Leonardo Jardim's side, who climb to seventh in Ligue 1.
Elsewhere, Academy graduate Josh Knight also scored, the third goal of his loan spell, for Sky Bet League 1 side Peterborough United in a 4-0 success over Oxford United on Saturday.
The Posh were 2-0 up - thanks to efforts from Siriki Dembélé and Ivan Toney - by the time Nathan Thompson was dismissed in the 63rd minute at ABAX Stadium.
However, the home side kept pushing forwards and another strike from Toney preceded Knight's last-ditch goal, in the sixth minute of added time, to keep Peterborough third in the League 1 standings.
In the Championship, on the other hand, defender Filip Benković made his debut for seventh-placed Bristol City as a 58th-minute substitute during a frustrating 3-1 loss to Birmingham City at Ashton Gate.
The Robins in fact went ahead in the first minute, courtesy of Jamie Paterson's goal, but later efforts from Scott Hogan and Lukas Jutkiewicz, either side of Andreas Weimann's own goal, settled it.
Andy King, meanwhile, made his fourth appearance for Huddersfield Town in a 2-0 win against Queens Park Rangers at John Smith's Stadium, emerging from the bench in the 74th minute.
Elias Kachunga netted first before Steve Mounie's penalty added another to leave Danny Cowley's men - whose side included ex-City defenders Danny Simpson and Richard Stearman - 19th in the table.
King, who won the Premier League, Championship and League 1 titles with the Foxes, has now won two, drawn one and lost one of his four matches with the Terriers so far.
In League 1, goalkeeper Daniel Iversen kept the 10th cleansheet of his spell at Rotherham United with Matt Crooks scoring the only goal of the game to seal a 1-0 win at Lincoln City on Friday.
The Millers - who Iversen has represented 29 times in the league - remain top of the third tier, three points clear of second-placed Wycombe Wanderers and four ahead of Knight's Peterborough.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, on the other hand, was on the winning side for the first time, after two previous attempts, as Blackpool defeated Southend United at Bloomfield Road on Saturday.
The midfielder netted his first-ever professional goal on his debut for the Tangerines last month, while their latest victory leaves them 14th.
Defender Mitchell Clark also appeared for Port Vale at the weekend, marking his second appearance with the League 2 club in 2019/20 with a 90-minute performance in a 1-0 win at Northampton Town.
David Worrall got the goal for Vale in the 72nd minute, registering a 12th win of the season, which places them ninth in the standings on 48 points from 32 matches in the second tier.
Admiral Muskwe was a second-half substitute for Swindon Town, meanwhile, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Carlisle United, who had Ryan Loft on the bench, at Brunton Park on Saturday.
Rarmani Edmonds-Green fired Swindon ahead on 11 minutes before Aaron Hayden levelled it, but Muskwe's side remain top of the fourth tier by a margin of two points over Crewe Alexandra.
Finally, in Belgium, also on Saturday, Kamal Sowah was among the starters for Oud-Heverlee Leuven in a notable 3-0 victory over S.K. Lommel at King Power at Den Dreef Stadium.
Jan Van den Bergh, Derrick Tshimanga and Jérémy Perbet netted for OHL, in front of a contingent of Leicester supporters in the crowd, to return Vincent Euvrard's men to the Proximus League summit.
