LFC Loan Watch: Wilson on fire, Karius in action, Grujic injured

Harry Wilson made his return from injury midweek with a late cameo for Derby County against Blackburn Rovers. However his first start since injury came at the weekend against Brentford.

After going one goal down Wilson drew the Rams level finishing off a counter attack the reds would be proud of. Wilson’s goal was a pivotal moment in the game as Derby went on to win the clash 3-1.

Even more impressive was Wilson’s goal against Man Utd in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. His 30-year free kick flew into the top corner and helped them overcome Jose Mourinho’s side.

The ever present Herbie Kane registered his first assist of the season as Doncaster Rovers beat Bradford 2-1. In the 52nd minute Kane slid a perfectly weighted through ball into the path of John Marquis who duly finished what turned out to be the match winning strike.

Building on his strong performance last weekend Loris Karius again played a key part as Besiktas beat Sarpsborg 3-1 in their Europa League opener on Thursday night. On Monday Besiktas faced Fenerbache and despite taking the lead they were unable to hold as they game eventually finished 1-1.
