National outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abola.pt\/noticias\/os-gemeos-bednarek-e-kiwior-e-o-golaco-de-william-gomes-as-notas-dos-portistas-2025092521254078136\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A Bola<\/a> described the Polish international as \u201cputting in some very consistent performances.\u201d Jakub\u2019s league leaders turn their attention back to domestic action on Monday evening, taking on Arouca.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Oleksandr Zinchenko\u00a0has been in the thick of the action, starting for Nottingham Forest in Saturday\u2019s Premier League clash with Sunderland. The Ukrainian emerged on the losing side by a solitary first-half goal at the City Ground, but he also featured in Forest\u2019s Europa League bow, playing the full 90 minutes in Thursday\u2019s 2-2 away draw at Real Betis.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Karl Hein\u00a0was called up to the Werder Bremen starting XI to debut between the sticks away at Bayern Munich, no less, on Friday evening. Werder were beaten 4-0 on the night, but Estonia international Karl kept the Bundesliga champions from inflicting further damage with a string of impressive saves.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reiss Nelson\u00a0was sidelined through illness as his Brentford side enjoyed a terrific win over Manchester United at the GTech Community Stadium. The 3-1 victory moved the Bees above United on goal difference in the Premier League table. Reiss has returned to training in west London ahead of a planned return in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fabio Vieira endured a sour end to his Hamburg side\u2019s goalless draw away at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday night, receiving a red card in second-half stoppage time in the German capital. Vieira has been influential in the newly-promoted side\u2019s early matches this season, but will now serve a domestic suspension. Academy youngster\u00a0Maldini Kacurri suffered the same fate for Morecambe on Saturday afternoon, dismissed for two bookable offences in a defeat by Truro City in the National League.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Elsewhere from our Hale End loans,\u00a0Ismeal Kabia completed another 90 minutes for Shrewsbury Town in League Two, as his side were edged out 2-1 by MK Dons in Shropshire on Saturday.\u00a0Lucas Nygaard once again featured in goal for Brabrand in the Danish second division, and was on the winning side courtesy of Saturday\u2019s 2-1 success over Thisted.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">From our women\u2019s loanees, it was a roaring success for both\u00a0Michelle Agyemang and\u00a0Rosa Kafaji as their Brighton &amp; Hove Albion side overcame Everton 1-0 in WSL action. Rosa laid on the decisive goal for Michelle after 26 minutes, a moment which saw the Seagulls into sixth, a point and a place behind Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Staying in the women\u2019s top-flight,\u00a0Cecily Wellesley-Smith was an unused substitute for Leicester City as they were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ipswich Town and Portsmouth met in WSL 2 this weekend.\u00a0Jessie Gale featured as an early first-half substitute for Pompey, though\u00a0Madison Earl did not feature in the Ipswich side who carved out a 3-2 win.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Elsewhere in WSL 2,\u00a0Naomi Williams was an unused deputy goalkeeper on the Bristol City bench as the 10-player Robins were edged out 2-1 by Nottingham Forest on Sunday, while\u00a0Vivienne Lia did not feature for Southampton in their 1-1 draw with Sunderland.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Across the pond,\u00a0Laila Harbert entered the fray for the final 29 minutes of Portland Thorns\u2019 3-0 defeat at Gotham. Laila was introduced with her side already two goals down and taking risks to claw a way back into the contest. Portland still sit fifth in the 14-team NWSL, with four league games remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
