Spurs loan watch: Championship round up | OneFootball

In the Championship, there were games for three Tottenham Hotspur loanees on Saturday. Yang Min-hyeok and his Queens Park Rangers side hosted Leeds United, Ashley Phillips and his Stoke City side faced Millwall on the road, and Will Lankshear and his West Bromwich Albion side hosted Hull City.

Two of the games were at 12:30 GMT, and were live to air on Sky Sports red button. One of those games were QPR vs Leeds – where Min-hyeok was named amongst the substitutes. After 17 minutes, QPR took the lead, and doubled their lead on the half an hour mark.

However, with five minutes of the first half remaining – an own goal halved that lead, and Leeds were back in the game, with a 2-1 score at half-time. Then, six minutes into the second half, the visitors made it 2-2, as QPR surrendered their 2-0 lead.

That would prove to be the final goal of the game, as the sides shared the spoils. In isolation, it is not a bad point for the R’s, but having been two goals up, it must feel very frustrating not to have picked up all three points – even against a promotion hopeful.

As for Min-hyeok, unfortunately he remained an unused sub. Let’s hope he can get some game time with South Korea over the international break. This draw leaves QPR in place in the Championship, with 45 points from their 38 games so far.

At the same time as that game was going on, Phillips was named in the Stoke starting XI for their trip to Millwall. After a pretty uneventful game, it looked like the Potters were set to keep back to back clean sheets, but in stoppage time – they conceded a penalty, that was duly dispatched, the ultimate sucker punch as they were condemned to a 1-0 defeat.

In terms of Phillips himself, another 90 minutes here for the Spurs loanee – making it 2362 minutes in total in the second tier this season, playing and starting 27 games. This defeat leaves Stoke in place in the Championship, with 39 points from their 37 games.

Finally, at 15:00 GMT, Lanskhear was again named on the West Brom bench, despite manager Tony Mowbray going with two substitutes for this game. After the sides could not be separated for over an hour, the Baggies took the lead midway through the second half. However, just twelve minutes later, Hull equalised to make it 1-1.

With four minutes of normal time remaining, Lankshear was introduced to the action – but his side could not find that all important second goal, and they were forced to make do with a point. That draw leaves them in sixth place in the Championship, with 57 points from their 38 games.
