A host of West Ham United loanees were in action over what was a successful weekend…
Conor Coventry played his part in a memorable win as Rotherham United beat Queens Park Rangers 3-1 in the EFL Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Consecutive home wins were secured as Jordan Hugill struck a brace as captain. The former Hammer tucked home a cross from Chiedozie Ogbene and later struck a second-half penalty, before Hakeem Odoffin netted a third late on.
Since joining the Millers in January, Coventry has tasted defeat just twice, with Matt Taylor’s men winning two of their last three Championship fixtures.
Rotherham sits 18th in the table, with nine wins in the league this season. They are two points clear of the relegation zone as it stands.
There was a win for goalkeeper Brian Kinnear too, who recorded his first clean sheet since moving on loan at Falkirk in January.
A game that was goalless at the interval saw Falkirk strike five in the second half, with Craig McGuffie netting a 14-minute hat-trick to see Kinnear maintain his 100 per cent record since arriving on loan with a 5-0 win over Peterhead.
With four triumphs in their last five fixtures, Falkirk sit second in Scottish League One, five points behind leaders Dunfermline Athletic FC.
Another Hammers goalkeeper to record a win and a clean sheet was Nathan Trott, who helped his side to a third win in five matches and extend their lead at the top of the Danish First Division to four points.
The 24-year-old made three saves, as teammate Stefan Velkov struck the decisive goal for Vejle as third-placed Vendsyssel were beaten 1-0.
Victory also went the way of Arthur Masuaku, who returned to action with a 2-1 win for Beşiktaş against Ankaragücü in the Turkish Süper Lig on Sunday.
Goals from Salih Uçan and Vincent Aboubakar saw a side featuring former Southampton winger Nathan Redmond and Everton forward Cenk Tosun take the three points.
Two wins in their last five games take Masuaku and company to third in the table, eight points from Fenerbahçe in second.
