It was another positive day for Newcastle United’s loanees as two of the Magpies’s young stars scored for their temporary clubs on Saturday.

A total of 15 United players have left the club on a temporary basis, with 10 of those players in action for their loan clubs in the past week as they look to impress Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez from afar.

Adam Amrstrong got back among the goals for Barnsley, while Ivan Toney bagged a brace against former club Northampton.

Here is a full round-up of how Newcastle United’s loan stars got on Saturday.

Adam Armstrong

The 19-year-old striker bagged his third goal of the season as Barnsley recorded an impressive 2-0 away win at Brentford. Recalled to the line-up after being ruled out of Tuesday’s game against Newcastle, Armstrong needed just 29 minutes to make his mark.

Tykes skipper Conor Hourihane lofted a ball into the box and after Marley Watkins knocked the ball down, Armstrong made no mistake, lashing home from ten yards.

Ivan Toney

The 20-year-old forward scored twice but couldn’t prevent Shrewsbury Town losing 4-2 to his former side Northampton Town. Toney’s 36th minute penalty got the Shrews back into the game at 2-1 but they were further punished by another two second half goals from the Cobblers.

Toney converted another spot kick deep into stoppage time to take his tally to five goals in League One for the Shrews this season.

Emmanuel Riviere

One man who didn’t play well this weekend was Emmanuel Riviere. The French centre-forward was sent off for violent conduct as Osasuna were beaten 2-1 by Real Betis.

Jamie Sterry

The right-back played the full 90 minutes as Coventry ran out 2-0 winners at home to Rochdale. Since the resignation of manager Tony Mowbray, the Sky Blues have enjoyed a renaissance, winning three of their last four league games, edging them towards escaping the League One relegation zone.

Macauley Gillesphey

The defender’s impressive loan spell at Carlisle United continued as they saw off Stevenage 2-1 away from home. Despite picking up a yellow card, Gillesphey helped the Cumbrians to a fifth win on the spin as they rose to second in the League Two table.

Keith Curle’s men remain the only side to be unbeaten in the league, and are now without defeat in 14 league matches this term.

Alex Gilliead

The young forward played the full 90 minutes as Luton Town were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Mansfield. The result saw the Hatters drop to fourth in the League Two table.

Kyle Cameron

The Scotland under-21 international didn’t enjoy the best day at the office as Newport County were comprehensively beaten 3-1 at home to Plymouth. The 19-year-old defender picked up a yellow card as the Exiles remain seven points adrift of safety at the bottom of League Two.

Unused

Haris Vuckic was an unused substitute as Bradford City played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at home to Sheffield United.

Simialrly, Tom Heardman and Siem de Jong were unused as Hartlepool were beaten 3-1 by Leyton Orient while PSV beat Sparta Rotterdam 1-0.
