Leeds United loan round-up as Lewis Bate stars in huge Oxford United win over Ipswich Town

Lewis Bate's Oxford United defeated League One promotion candidates Ipswich Town 2-1 at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.

Ipswich had been battling Plymouth Argyle in the race for the League One title for the majority of the season. However, they have since been replaced in the automatic promotion slots by Sheffield Wednesday, and fell seven points behind the top two following their defeat.

Stuart McKinstry registered an assist to help guide Motherwell into the next round of the Scottish FA Cup. He set up Mikael Mandron for the opener, before the Frenchman doubled his tally to inflict a 2-0 defeat on hosts Arbroath.

Rotherham United won 4-0 against Blackburn Rovers on Leo Hjelde's debut, and his second game saw the Millers earn a creditable 1-1 draw against promotion-chasers Watford at Vicarage Road. Matt Taylor's men have amassed four points from their last two games, and have climbed five points clear of danger as a result.

Charlie Cresswell featured for just one minute from the bench as Millwall defeated Cardiff City 1-0 in the Welsh capital. It was his first league appearance for the Lions since a 3-0 defeat against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on December 3.

Jamie Shackleton was also named among the substitutes and was introduced with 10 minutes remaining. The 23-year-old has made 24 appearances in the Championship for Millwall this term, but hasn't started a league game since late October.

Tyler Roberts started his fourth consecutive league match for Queens Park Rangers, as they registered a third draw on the bounce in the Championship, and a fourth stalemate in five league games. Jamal Lowe fired the R's ahead, before Jay Fulton equalised for Swansea City at Loftus Road.

Ian Poveda wasn't in action for Blackpool after their Championship game against Huddersfield Town was postponed, while the poor weather conditions also saw Alfie McCalmont (Carlisle United) and Jack Jenkins (Salford City) get the weekend off.
