It’s been an action packed weekend for nearly all of Palace’s loanees with assists, debuts, and much more. Here’s a breakdown of each player's performances...
Starting between the sticks, Owen Goodman had an exceptional Saturday - keeping a clean sheet in Colchester United’s 1-0 win away at Morecambe.
Not only did the 20-year-old shot stopper keep a clean sheet, he also managed to deny Morecambe’s Gerard Garner from the penalty spot. The Shrimps were awarded a penalty almost immediately after the restart in the second-half, but Goodman dived down to his left and kept Garner’s effort out.

Both Tayo Adaramola and Ademola Ola-Adebomi secured loan moves last week and both of them made their debuts for their respective sides.
Adaramola started for Belgian Pro League side RWD Molenbeek, playing the entire 90 minutes before being subbed off in stoppage time. The left-back went off at 1-1, though Molenbeek did lose the game 3-1.
Ola-Adebomi came on off the bench as a second-half substitute for League One Burton Albion. Wearing Number 20, the striker made his first professional appearance of his career off the bench. He couldn’t quite find the breakthrough for Burton as they drew 0-0 with Cambridge United.
Across the border in Scotland, Malachi Boateng came off the bench for 10-man Dundee and helped them win 4-1 away from home against Livingstone. The midfielder kept up his record in featuring for the Dee in every single game so far this season and even managed to notch his first assist of the season by setting up Michael Mellon for the fourth goal
John-Kymani Gordon, on his first start for AFC Wimbledon, also recorded his first assist for the League Two side. He held the ball up well, poking it into the path of Omar Bugiel who put the Dons ahead just before half-time. They eventually emerged victorious with 97th minute winner.
