Harvey Davies Continues Solid Start to Loan Spell Away from Liverpool
Liverpool loanee goalkeeper Harvey Davies is continuing to make a strong impression since his season-long loan move to Crewe Alexandra in the summer. The 20-year-old has been a key figure in the team’s success this season, and his latest clean sheet against Tranmere Rovers was his second consecutive home clean sheet in the league.
Davies’ Impressive Stats
Davies currently leads the way in League Two with saves per 90 minutes, registering 3.8 stops each game according to FotMob. He has already kept the opposition out on 50 occasions this season, adding two further stops to his tally and avoiding a late threat to his clean sheet as Tranmere’s Harvey Saunders rattled the woodwork deep into injury time. His impressive performance has helped Crewe pick up 23 points from their opening 13 games, and they currently sit fourth in the division.
Other Loanee Performances
Fellow 20-year-old goalkeeper Jakub Ojrzynski registered the full 90 minutes in goal for Den Bosch in their 3-1 defeat to Willem II, in which he gave away and conceded a late penalty which sealed his side’s fate. Meanwhile, Luca Stephenson played 45 minutes of Barrow’s dramatic 2-2 draw against MK Dons in League Two. The midfielder was substituted at half-time, with his team going on to score two goals in injury time to earn an unlikely late point that spelled the end of Graham Alexander’s reign as MK Dons manager.
Fabio Carvalho Gets On the Scoresheet
Fabio Carvalho maintained his match sharpness during the international break as he got on the scoresheet for RB Leipzig in their 4-2 friendly defeat to Mlada Boleslav last week. Carvalho has started just once in the Bundesliga this season and has been restricted predominantly to substitute appearances so far in Germany.
Other Loanee Updates
Luke Hewitson played the duration of Stalybridge’s 4-3 win over Newcastle Town, while Anderson Arroyo made a very brief cameo appearance in FC Andorra’s 2-0 victory against Alcorcon. Rhys Williams featured for 90 minutes for Aberdeen U21s in their Aberdeenshire Shield First Round tie on Wednesday, with his side eventually progressing with a 5-4 win on penalties. Adam Lewis remains sidelined with a serious hamstring injury while on loan at Newport County, with James Norris not making the matchday squad for Tranmere in their defeat to Davies’ Crewe.
