Enzo Barrenechea scored his first goal for loan club Valencia over the weekend, as they were held to a 1-1 draw away at Getafe in La Liga on Sunday.
The Argentine midfielder crashed in at the back post after 36 minutes to slide home a corner, giving Los Che the lead, before they were pegged back in stoppage time courtesy of a Mauro Arambarri penalty at Estadio Coliseum, to see the spoils shared.
In League Two, Rico Richards bagged his second goal of the season, and an assist, for Port Vale on Saturday, as the Valiants remain top of the League Two table following a hard-earned 3-2 victory at home to AFC Wimbledon.
Having won a free-kick on the edge of the area, Richards was first to react after Ethan Chislett crashed his effort off the post, burying the rebound to put Vale 2-0 up inside 11 minutes.
He then turned provider just after the hour mark, hanging a ball into the centre having made a darting run forward, for Jayden Stockley to power a header home. Darren Moore’s side sit four points clear at the top of the league after 14 games.
Elsewhere in League Two, there was another 90 minutes in goal for Filip Marschall, spending the season at Crewe Alexandra, in a 3-1 win at home to Tranmere Rovers. The Alex sit fifth in the table.
In the Championship, Kaine Kesler-Hayden provided an assist for Preston North End in an entertaining 3-3 draw at Plymouth Argyle.
