Spurs loan watch: UK round up | OneFootball

On Saturday, there was action for Tottenham Hotspur loanees in all three EFL divisions - but also in the National League and up in the Scottish Premiership. Let's take a look at how things went for Luca Gunter at Wealdstone, and Alfie Dorrington at Aberdeen.

How things went for the rest of the Spurs loanees in the UK

To begin, Gunter was named in the Wealdstone starting XI, as they hosted Solihull Moors - who just poached their manager, Matthew Taylor - whom you may remember for scoring a lot of volleys during the Premier League Barclays era.

It would be the dream start for the Stones, whom took the lead after just four minutes of the game. It looked like it was going to be the only goal of the first half, but Solihull equalised just before the break, to send the sides into the interval at 1-1.

Not only did that equaliser end up as the final goal of the first half, it ended up as the final goal of the game, and Wealdstone would have to make do with a point - albeit against a fairly good team. This point was enough to take them out of the bottom four, as they sit in 20th, with 26 points from their 27 games so far.

Meanwhile, North of the border, Dorrington made his first start for Aberdeen, as they travelled to the capital to face Hibernian. Unfortunately, the young Spurs defender could not help arrest the slide, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat, as the wait for a win in the league closes in on a whole three months and counting.

Nevertheless, it was encouraging to see Dorrington start the game. During the game, he made seven clearances, and had over 80 touches of the ball. He had a chance late on, but his header from a corner seven minutes from time was off target in the end.

This defeat leaves Aberdeen fourth in the Scottish Premiership, with 35 points from their 25 games so far, as their horrific form continues.

Next up for Wealdstone is a National League home game against Tamworth this coming Tuesday, the fourth of February, at 19:45 GMT. As for Aberdeen, they will host Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup round of 16 on Sunday, for a 12:30 GMT kick off. The win in the last 32 was their only win in all competitions since the 9th of November.
