Luca Stephenson and Rhys Williams scored, while Ben Doak recorded two assists – read our round-up of Liverpool loan players’ involvement across the weekend.

Stephenson broke the deadlock for Dundee United just before the hour mark on Saturday as they went on to defeat Ross County 3-0 in the Scottish Premiership.

His third league goal of the season came via a diving header and manager Jim Goodwin said afterwards: “Luca is a really important player for us.

“I thought that goal was probably the pick of the bunch. [Will] Ferry puts a fantastic ball into an area, Luca from deep midfield makes up great ground to go and get on the end of it, and a really good header in the end.”

Centre-back Williams netted for the second game in a row for Morecambe, meeting a corner kick with a headed effort in a dramatic 2-1 away win versus Harrogate Town in League Two.

Doak, meanwhile, set up two of Middlesbrough’s goals in a 5-1 victory over Luton Town in the Championship. The Scotland winger now has four goal involvements in 10 league appearances.

Elsewhere in the second tier, Nathaniel Phillips played the full game for Derby County in a 1-1 draw against Plymouth Argyle, while Lewis Koumas was a second-half substitute in Stoke City’s 1-1 draw with Millwall.

In the Austrian Bundesliga, Stefan Bajcetic was brought on just after the hour mark as Red Bull Salzburg were beaten 2-0 at Blau-Weiss Linz.
