It was a weekend to remember for Leeds United loanee Daniel James after scoring for Fulham in their 3-1 win over Everton. The result does his parent club a big favour with the Toffees still two points behind the Whites.
The Welsh international lead the line for the Cottagers in Aleksandar Mitrovic's absence and scored in the 68th minute to round-off an impressive outing. Diego Llorente also featured in a win this weekend, helping Jose Mourinho's AS Roma to a 3-0 win over mid-table Udinese to strengthen their grip on a Champions League berth.
Cody Drameh played the full 90 minutes in Luton Town's 2-0 win over Rotherham United. Fellow Whites' loanee Leo Hjelde played 52 minutes for the Millers before being replaced by Domingos Quina.

Jamie Shackleton was a second-half substitute for Millwall in their 2-0 win over Preston North-End to keep their play-off hopes alive, but there was no place for Charlie Cresswell having fractured his eye socket in the 0-0 draw at West Brom earlier this month.
Staying in the Championship, Joe Gelhardt was also a second-half substitute, coming on to held Sunderland beat Birmingham City 2-1 and keep any faint hopes of finishing in the top-six alive. At the bottom of the second tier, Ian Poveda helped Blackpool defeat fellow strugglers Wigan Athletic 1-0 and close the gap to safety to just four points, with twelve still available.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Tyler Roberts was an unused substitute in QPR's 3-0 defeat to Coventry City, leaving them just a point above the drop. Another Whites' loanee not in action this weekend was Helder Costa, who missed Al-Ittihad's 2-1 win over Al-Wedha as they tightened their grip on top spot on the Saudi Pro League.
