NewsLoan watch: Luca Stephenson makes winning debut as five Reds feature

Academy prospect Stephenson sealed a season-long switch north last Thursday and was put straight in to Jim Goodwin’s starting XI on Sunday.

He went on to complete the match as United claimed a 1-0 home win over St. Mirren in the Scottish League Cup.

Elsewhere, in the Championship, Lewis Koumas was sent on from the bench for the final half-hour of Stoke City’s 3-0 defeat at Watford.

At League One level, Luke Chambers played the whole game and Calvin Ramsay was a 61st-minute substitute for Wigan Athletic, who lost 2-0 at Reading.

In Sweden’s Allsvenskan, goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek featured for the entirety as Brommapojkarna were overturned 3-1 at home to Hacken.
