MICHAEL Petrasso played in front of over 44,000 spectators for Oldham Athletic in their FA Cup third round defeat at Liverpool.





The Canadian Under-20 international is currently on loan at the Latics and played the full 90 minutes of their 2-0 loss at Anfield.





However, the 18-year-old didn’t leave completely empty handed after bagging Reds hotshot Luis Suarez’s shirt at full-time.





Petrasso was one of five R’s players out on loan to play in the world’s oldest cup competition over the weekend.





Centre-back Max Ehmer was straight in the starting line-up for Carlisle United at Premier League side Sunderland on Sunday.





Ehmer, who extended his spell with the Cumbrians on Friday, was unable to prevent Carlisle being knocked out however. A spirited performance saw them on the end of a 3-1 defeat.





Stevenage did manage to pull off an upset however with R’s midfielder Michael Doughty starting in their 3-2 win against Championship side Doncaster Rovers.





Under-21 teammate Bruno Andrade came on with 15 minutes remaining for the League One side in what was his final appearance for Boro after his 93-day loan deal came to an end. Andrade made 15 appearances for Stevenage, scoring one goal.





Finally, Loic Remy came off the bench for Newcastle United in the closing stages of their 2-1 FA Cup exit against Cardiff City on Saturday.





Michael Harriman was the only loanee in League One action this weekend when he lined up against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night.





Gillingham grabbed a late 1-0 win live on Sky Sports with the R’s right-back putting in a solid display for the Kent side who continue to ease their early season relegation fears after moving up to 14th place.





In Spain, Stephane Mbia started in Seville’s 3-0 win against Getafe in La Liga on Sunday as they returned to action after the Christmas break.





Mbia was substituted with just four minutes remaining as Seville moved up one place in the table to sixth position.
