CZECH REPUBLIC

Peter Olayinka returned from a lengthy suspension in style as he scored Slavia Prague's second goal in their [3-0] victory over Bohemians 1905. Centre-back Igoh Ogbu produced a sterling defensive display to help the home team keep their first clean sheet in four matches across all competitions.

ENGLAND

Frank Onyeka made a key tackle and created a chance after being introduced at halftime during Brentford's [1-1] home draw with high-flying Aston Villa.

Taiwo Awoniyi put in a good shift, while Emmanuel Dennis was brought on late in Nottingham Forest's hard-fought [3-2] defeat against Liverpool at Anfield.

At the King Power Stadium, Kelechi Iheanacho scored from the spot, while Wilfred Ndidi also put in a good shift as Leicester City halted a run of ten games without a win with a [2-1] comeback victory over Wolves.

Alex Iwobi was one of Everton's better players, creating 4 goalscoring chances as the Toffees held Crystal Palace to a goalless draw despite finishing the game with ten men.

GERMANY

Anthony Ujah scored the consolation goal for Eintracht Braunschweig as they succumbed to a narrow [1-2] defeat at home against FC Magdeburg in a 2.Bundesliga clash. It was the 32-year-old forward's eighth league goal of the campaign. The former Union Berlin man also has three assists in his 24 appearances.
