Loan watch: Clean sheets for young keepers
Written by Dan King
Young goalkeepers Freddie Woodman and Paul Woolston recorded well-earned clean sheets this week.
Woodman's shut-out came as Kilmarnock held Rangers to a draw on Wednesday, with the Newcastle netminder making a couple of good saves.
Sean Longstaff also played the full game, and came close to scoring, while Callum Roberts appeared as a late substitute.
Meanwhile Paul Woolston was between the posts on Tuesday as Blyth Spartans gained another win - this time a 1-0 success at Rushall Olympic.
Spennymoor Town were also in action on Tuesday, although Ben Smith wasn't involved in their 4-0 win at Matlock Town.
However, it wasn't all good news for Newcastle's on-loan goalkeepers. Tim Krul's AZ Alkmaar were beaten 4-1 by Ajax on Wednesday.
Emmanuel Riviere was an unused substitute for Real Osasuna as they recorded a 1-0 win at Alaves.
On Thursday, meanwhile, Siem de Jong played the whole game for PSV Eindhoven as they drew 2-2 at Twente.
