Loan watch

Eight Swans were involved for their loan clubs at the weekend, with a mixed bag of results. 

Nathan Dyer was an unused substitute as Leicester drew 1-1 with Manchester United to remain second in the Barclays Premier League table.

Jamie Vardy made history by scoring in the 11th consecutive game to give the home side the lead, but Bastian Schweinsteiger equalised on the stroke of half-time to earn Louis van Gaal's men a point.

In League One, two Swans loanees went head-to-head as Adam King's Crewe faced Jay Fulton's Oldham at the Alexandra Stadium.

And it was the home side who came out on top as King scored a first-half winner to secure a vital 1-0 win for Crewe to lift them off the foot of the table, while Fulton featured for 70 minutes before being substituted.

In League Two, it was a dream debut for Oli McBurnie as he struck a second-half hat-trick for Newport as they beat Luton 3-0 at Rodney Parade.

McBurnie, who only joined County 48 hours earlier, came on with half an hour to play and with the score goalless before hitting a treble in 24 minutes to seal a memorable afternoon for the 19-year-old.

Meanwhile, Connor Roberts and Josh Sheehan both played 90 minutes for Yeovil as Paul Sturrock's side lost 2-0 at high-flying Northampton.

Goals from Lawson D'Ath and Marc Richards sealed the victory for the home side, who moved into the top three after extending their unbeaten run to eight matches, while Yeovil remain rooted to the foot of the table.

In Scotland, Alex Samuel played 79 minutes as Morton won 2-0 away at Albion to progress to the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

In the Dutch Eredivisie, Kenji Gorre didn't feature for Den Haag as they lost 2-1 away at FC Groningen to stay 14th in the table.

Oliver Davies wasn't involved for Kilmarnock as he continue to recover from injury.
