From League Two to Ligue 1: a weekend for the playmakers | OneFootball

From League Two to Ligue 1, this weekend belonged to the playmakers, with hat-tricks of assists stealing the headlines.

At Meadow Lane, Notts County’s Jayden Luker came off the bench midway through the second half and made an instant impact, laying on three goals in a commanding 4-0 win over Crawley Town.

Across the Channel, Brest’s Ludovic Ajorque matched the feat in style - chalking up three assists and a goal of his own in a 4-1 victory over OGC Nice.

On Sunday, Union Berlin pulled off a shock 4-3 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt. Centre stage was Scotsman Oliver Burke, who bagged a hat-trick, every single one supplied by teammate Andrej Ilic.

And if we dip further down the English football pyramid, credit must also go to Braintree’s Chay Cooper, who assisted all three of his side’s goals in a 3-1 win at Eastleigh.
