Tariqe Fosu enjoyed a fine week with Stoke City, setting up their late equaliser at home to Burnley before playing the full 90 minutes of their win against league leaders Sheffield United.

It was Fosu's teasing cross from the right that Harry Clarke headed home late on against the Clarets to rescue a point.

He then impressed again, earning the highest rating of the match on WhoScored, as goals from Ben Wilmot, Phil Jagielka, and Liam Delap secured victory against the Blades.

Halil Dervişoğlu wasn’t involved in that game against Fosu and the Potters, nor did he make the matchday squad on Saturday as Vincent Kompany's side beat Coventry City 1-0 to move back up to fourth.

Elsewhere in the second tier, Fin Stevens was an unused substitute in a pair of 2-1 wins for Swansea - one at Watford in midweek and the other at home to Sunderland on Saturday, which has lifted them to sixth in the table.

Daniel Oyegoke wasn’t required as MK Dons picked up their first win in this year's EFL trophy with a 2-0 success over West Ham United on Tuesday. He did return to the starting XI on Saturday for MK’s 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury Town, a game which saw MK play more than half an hour with ten men.

That defeat dropped MK to 22nd, with the side overtaking them being Myles Peart-Harris' Forest Green Rovers, following their 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers. That victory, their first in five league games, came courtesy of Connor Wickham’s 32nd-minute strike.

Lachlan Brook missed Crewe Alexandra’s 1-1 draw at Gillingham while Nathan Young-Coombes and Paris Maghoma sat out AFC Wimbledon’s 3-1 defeat to Walsall.

On the continent

Mads Bidstrup helped FC Nordsjaelland return to the top of the Danish Superliga with four points from two games this week.

Last Monday, he played the full 90 minutes as FCN won the battle of the top two against Randers, which saw Andreas Schjelderup scoring twice in the 3-1 victory. Then, on Saturday, he completed another full game in their 1-1 draw away at Copenhagen, Oliver Antman scoring a 93rd-minute equalizer at Parken.

In France, Mads Bech was an unused substitute on Thursday night as OGC Nice earned their first win in this season’s Europa Conference League. A 54th-minute Nicolas Pépé goal gave them victory over Slovacko.

The centre-back then wasn’t involved in Sunday’s 3-2 Ligue 1 win at home to Troyes. Arsenal loanee Pépé was again on target to move OGC up to 13th in the table.

In Holland, De Graafschap dropped back into the second-tier relegation zone after their 3-2 defeat away at Heracles. Joel Valencia played the full 90 minutes as the Super Farmers twice fought back from behind before finally going down to a late Thomas Bruns goal.
