Harry Souttar came up against Erling Haaland as Leicester City’s relegation concerns worsened with a 3-1 loss to Manchester City in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Souttar earned a 5/10 rating from Leicestershire Live who wrote: “One on one with players running at him, he does struggle, comically falling over for one attempt at defending against Grealish.

“He let Haaland run off him too easily for the third too. But he won a few booming headers, and his effort from the corner helped set up the goal.”

Riley McGree missed promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough’s 5-1 home win over Norwich City in the English Championship on Friday amid ankle injury fears.

Boro head coach Michael Carrick said: “He just picked up an ankle injury in training a couple of days ago. It was just one of those things really and we’re just assessing that one at the moment and putting him through the relevant scans. We’ll have to see how he is.”

Bailey Wright was absent for Rotherham United’s 2-0 home loss to Luton Town having sustained ankle ligament damage last week, ruling him out for approximately two months. He has returned to Sunderland, having been on loan at Rotherham.

Massimo Luongo and Cameron Burgess played their part as Ipswich Town made a big move towards automatic promotion with a 6-0 win over Charlton in League One. The win saw Ipswich move into second with Sheffield Wednesday losing 3-2 at Burton Albion.

Luongo, who started and played 78 minutes, earned an 8/10 rating from East Anglian Daily Times who wrote: “Town look so strong in the centre of the pitch and Luongo is such a big part of that. He’s strong, showed drive again today and also played a clever ball into danger for goal three. Another very good display.”

Burgess was rated 9/10: “The big defender was as solid as you like during this game, coasting through it at times such was his level of confidence. Used the ball very well with feet and also had a shot from outside the box as he moved forward and things opened up for him.”

Ash Maynard-Brewer played a full game for Charlton.

Mat Ryan kept a clean sheet as AZ Alkmaar snapped their three-game winless run, easing to a 3-0 away win over Fortuna Sittard in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Nick D’Agostino provided two assists as Viking FK won for the first time this Norwegian Eliteserien campaign with a 2-0 home win over Lillestrom.

D’Agostino came on in the 75th minute but made his impact, including laying off the pass for compatriot Patrick Yazbek‘s goal in the 95th minute.

Gianni Stensness played a full game for Viking while Yazbek was subbed off in the 96th minute.

Nå må vi lande litt.
Dette var en helt rå kveld. Smekkfullt på SR-Bank Arena og seier mot Lilllestrøm.

Denis Genreau started again for Toulouse, playing 76 minutes in a 2-1 home loss to Olympique Lyon in France’s Ligue 1.

Ajdin Hrustic was absent due to injury as relegation battlers Hellas Verona claimed an important point in a 0-0 draw at leaders Napoli in Italy’s Serie A.

On Sunday, Cristian Volpato was unused as AS Roma won 3-0 over Udinese.

Fran Karacic provided the assist for Brescia’s 80th-minute equalizer in a 2-2 draw at Spal which was a crucial relegation battle in Italy’s Serie B. Karacic played the full game.

Jackson Irvine and Connor Metcalfe’s winning run with St Pauli was halted after a 2-1 home loss to Eintracht Braunschweig in the German 2.Bundesliga on Sunday.

Irvine put in a full shift and Metcalfe started but was replaced at half-time as the promotion hopefuls slipped to fifth with six games to play.

James Holland returned from injury as a 90th minute substitute as Austria Vienna drew 3-3 at Rapid Vienna in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday.

Awer Mabil came on in the 81st minute of a dramatic derby as Sparta Prague drew 3-3 with Slavia Prague in Czech Republic’s 1.Liga.

Jason Davidson put in a full shift as KAS Eupen were hammered 5-1 at home by Waregem in Belgium’s Pro League.

Milos Degenek netted an own goal before Columbus Crew rescued a last-gasp 1-1 draw with 10-man New England Revolution in the MLS on Sunday.

Jimmy Jeggo‘s Hibernian toppled out-of-form Hearts 1-0 in the Scottish Premiership, with Kye Rowles and Cammy Devlin both earning 5/10 ratings.

Jeggo put in a full shift, while Lewis Miller was an 88th minute substitute for Hibs. Jeggo received a 7/10 rating from the Edinburgh Evening News, who wrote: “Another who grew into the game. Didn’t get on the ball much, as is standard, but disrupted Hearts with his fighting qualities off it.”

Rowles and Devlin put in a full shifts for Hearts, who sacked Robbie Neilson in midweek. Nathaniel Atkinson was a fifth-minute substitute after an early injury, while Garang Kuol was an unused sub.

Rowles earned a 5/10 rating from the Edinburgh Evening News: “Was on hand to make a number of clearances as Hibs bombarded the box with crosses. Needs to improve his heading though.”

Devlin was rated 5/10: “One of his quieter displays in a Hearts jersey, though he did pick up his third booking of the season.”

Atkinson was rated 6/10: “Bright going forward with his running and movement. Still suspect defensively though.”

Keanu Baccus missed St Mirren’s 5-2 loss to Rangers due to a “niggling knee injury” which will require scans on Monday. Ryan Strain put in a full shift.

Aaron Mooy returned from a knock as a 68th minute substitute in Celtic’s 4-1 win at St Johnstone on Sunday.

Mooy earned a 3/10 rating from Glasgow World, who wrote: “Came on for O’Riley and delivered a great cross for Starfelt late on but the defender couldn’t keep his header down.”
