In Netherland's Eerste Division Gedion Zelalem sat on the bench as league leaders Venlo beat Almere in a hard fought 3 - 2 victory. Gedion needs to get back to Arsenal asap.

Also in Eerste Division, Shane O'Neill went 90 in a battle between to 10 teams, as NAC Breda fall 0 - 2 to Cambur. Breda are still in the mix, but todays home loss did not help their cause

In Denmark's Superliga (Relegation Group) GK Steve Clark (90) Conor O'Brien (52) as Horsens slipped further into the hole with a 2 - 0 loss at Randers. With the crazy Superliga groupings and Play-off's Horsens might still survive.

Ireland's Galway continue their rough start to the season (3 draws/4 loses). GK Cieran Nugent was an unused sub in a 1 - 0 defeat against 10 man Bray. Galway clearly bottom right now, but it's real early in the season
