London loan watch: Rio Cardines’ assist streak, Oliver Irow brace and Julian Eyestone clean sheet | OneFootball

London’s loanees made their mark at the weekend, with standout turns for Rotherham, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle and KV Kortrijk.

The Standard reports that five loanees from London’s Premier League clubs produced standout displays.

Brentford goalkeeper Julian Eyestone kept a clean sheet in Rotherham’s 1-0 win over Northampton Town, making a late save at Harvey Saunders’ feet. He has started Rotherham’s last two league matches, taking over from Ted Cann.

Crystal Palace’s Rio Cardines registered his sixth assist in seven league games as Bristol City beat Watford 1-0. The Trinidad and Tobago international crossed from the left for Dom Ballard, despite being a natural right-back and used mainly on the left this season. The 20-year-old is among Europe’s leading assist-makers and has earned praise from Michael Skubala.

Chelsea teenager Ryan Kavuma-McQueen helped Portsmouth draw 2-2 with Blackburn Rovers. Portsmouth led through Zak Swanson, then trailed to goals from Oladapo Afolayan and Ryoya Morishita, before his 74th-minute effort, after cutting inside onto his left, deflected in off Colby Bishop.

Tottenham forward Oliver Irow struck twice as Plymouth Argyle won 4-2 at Blackpool, making it three straight victories and lifting them to third. It followed his superb goal against Barnsley last weekend, underlining his growing importance.

Chelsea defender Harrison Murray-Campbell played the full match as KV Kortrijk earned their first win of the season, a 1-0 success over SK Beveren. It also brought their first clean sheet after six defeats in a row.
