Newcastle United currently have seven players out on loan at clubs in England’s lower divisions and in France following Freddie Woodman’s recall last week.

Five of them were in action over the weekend, with one of them injured and one of them failing to make the match day 18 - though another did net his first senior goal.

Here’s how the United loanees got on:

Alex Gilliead and Macaulay Gillesphey (Carlisle United)

It was a dream day for Gilliead as the 19-year-old loanee netted his first senior goal to hand Carlisle United a 1-0 win over Exeter City at Brunton Park.

Having been a constant threat to Exeter for much of the match, England Under-20 international Gilliead finally broke the deadlock in the 77th minute.

After receiving the ball from Derek Asamoah, Gilliead calmly slotted past Exeter goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik from 14 yards.

Newcastle Under-21 teammate Macaulay Gillesphey unfortunately did not make the matchday 18 for the League Two side.

Adam Armstrong (Coventry City)

The 18-year-old forward has eight goals already this campaign but he failed to add to his tally as Coventry suffered a frustrating 0-0 home draw against Blackpool.

With the Sky Blues chasing promotion from League One, dispatching of sides like struggling Blackpool at the Ricoh Arena should be the minimum requirement.

Yet Armstrong, along with strike partner Marc Antoine-Fortune, missed first-half chances as luck was just not on Coventry’s side on Saturday.

Remy Cabella (Marseille)

The 25-year-old France international started in Marseille’s 1-1 draw at home to Lorient - meaning he now needs to appear on just two further occasions before his move to the Stade Velodrome automatically becomes permanent.

Unfortunately for Cabella, he once again failed to shine and give Marseille a cutting edge as their winless run extended to six matches.

Marseille have still yet to find their form in the league - just like Cabella - and are already 17 points behind Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain, and just five ahead of the relegation zone.

Cabella played through the middle for Marseille against Lorient but was unable to provide a killer final ball, with Michy Batshuayi netting their only goal from the penalty spot.

Sammy Ameobi (Cardiff City)

The 23-year-old forward was given the opportunity to spearhead Cardiff’s attack due to a Kenwyne Jones injury but he was unable to find the target as Preston North End moved off the bottom of the Championship table after celebrating a 0-0 draw in south Wales.

Ameobi smashed a volley over the bar during the second-half when he was open inside the North End box, but he was unable to take any of his chances.

It appears likely that Ameobi will get an extended run in the starting line-up though, with Jones expected to be out for up to a month with an injury.

Shane Ferguson (Millwall)

Fresh from celebrating qualification for Euro 2016 with Northern Ireland, Ferguson helped Millwall to a 2-0 victory over League One strugglers Swindon at The Den.

Ferguson started the game and played for 66 minutes before he was replaced by Fred Onyedinma.

The 24-year-old has had a brilliant start to October and he will hope the positivity continues throughout the rest of the month.

Haris Vuckic (Wigan Athletic)

The 23-year-old Slovenia forward sat out Wigan’s 5-0 home thrashing of Colchester United as he continues to recover from an ankle injury he picked up last month.
