Loan watch: Simpson scores to help keep Millwall up

SATURDAY’S MATCHES

Jay Simpson- Millwall 3 Carlisle 0

Jay started the game for Millwall as they looked to move further clear of the relegation zone. After a slow start to the game with few opportunities for either side, Jay scored to give Millwall the lead two minutes before half-time. After a good ball in Neil Harris, Jay took control and drilled a low shot into the bottom right hand corner. The Lions went into the half-time break with a 1-0 lead intact. A second-half penalty from Neil Harris and a 64th minute strike Tony Craig put the result beyond doubt. The result means Millwall are now safe from relegation.

Jay played 90 minutes.

Kieran Gibbs- Norwich 3 QPR 0

Kieran started the game for Norwich as they took on QPR at Carrow Road, the visitors included former Gunner Matthew Connolly in their starting line-up. The visitors got off to the worst possible start when Damion Stewart was sent off for a professional foul on Ched Evans after just four minutes. Evans then scored with a left-footed volley from a corner to double the away side’s woes. A Mark Fortheringham strike on 56 minutes doubled Norwich’s lead and sealed the three points. A further goal from substitute Darel Russel made it 3-0. Kieran was withdrawn on 77 minutes as he played his last game in a Norwich shirt.

Mark Randall- Burnley 3 Cardiff City 2

Mark was left out of Burnley’s squad to face Cardiff at Turf Moor because of a back injury. The Clarets took the lead through a Graham Alexander strike on 36 minutes. Andy Cole doubled the home side’s advantage on 54 minutes, but just two minutes later a Joe Ledley penalty brought Cardiff back into the game. Aaron Ramsey put the visitors on level terms with 21 minutes left, but a Clark Carlisle strike four minutes from time meant that Burnley took all three points.

Despite not featuring today, there are rumours that he could remain at Turf Moor next season- either in an extended loan or a permanent move.
