We start our round-up in England and Brandon Barker was a 77th minute sub for Rotherham in their SkyBet Championship defeat against Wolves at the AESSEAL New York Stadium. The Millers brought Barker on when they were 2-1 down, but the 19-year old was unable to change his team’s fortunes as the score line remained the same.
20' - Evans plays in Demetriou who, from an acute angle, manages to squeeze the ball past Lee at his near post! 0-1. #CHEvWAL
— Walsall FC Official (@WFCOfficial) December 5, 2015In the Emirates FA Cup, George Evans played 77 minutes for Walsall as they drew 1-1 with Chesterfield in the first round to set up a replay next Tuesday. The 20-year old set up Jason Demetriou for the opening goal of the game and it looked like the Saddlers were set to go through to the second round until Lee Novak popped up in the 90th minute to send it to a replay. Brentford await the winners of the replay and it could set up a re-union between Walsall and Dean Smith, who left the League One club to take charge of the Bees last week.
