Palace’s loanees have once again been on good form this weekend, with returns at both ends of the pitch.
textAcross the border in Scotland, Killian Phillips opened his account for St Mirren, scoring the first goal of the game for St Mirren against Motherwell.
Building on the assist he registered last week the midfielder received a fizzed pass from Elvis Bwomono on the edge of the box, took a touch, turned and smashed it in on his right foot to give the Buddies the lead.

Ultimately, it wasn’t to be for Phillips and his St Mirren side as Motherwell fought back with the backing of Fir Park and managed to turn it around to win 2-1.
Elsewhere, Joe Whitworth has enjoyed another standout week for Exeter City as he notched up his fourth clean sheet of the campaign away at Wigan Athletic.
The 20-year-old shot-stopper made six saves to keep the Latics out, including an exceptional diving save in the dying moments of the game which secured a point for Exeter.
On his performance, Whitworth said: “Wigan away is a tough place to come, they’re a good team. Our performance was good in areas, we can work hard and make some parts better, but all in all it’s a pretty decent point away from home.
“[I earned that clean sheet,] I made a few saves, but I’m just doing my job! I’m expected to make saves, I’m here when the team needs me and today I was expected to do that.”
