Sierra Leone’s Mustapha Bundu helps Plymouth beat Stoke

Sierra Leone International Mustapha Bundu scored his second of the season for Plymouth Argyle in their English Championship week fifteen encounter on Saturday.

Tyrese Campbell had capitalised to score the visitor’s opener after a lack of communication in the home defence to ghost in and slot Stoke ahead in the 23rd minute. However, Mustapha Bundu steered the home side leveller from Kaine Kesler-Hayden’s low, fizzed-in cross from deep just before the break.

Adam Randell scored a last-gasp match-winner to record his first goal at Home Park – the substitute kept his cool to score a 97th-minute winner for Plymouth Argyle on his 100th appearance for the club to beat fellow strugglers Stoke City.

Victory moves Plymouth above Stoke into 16th, maintaining their six-point gap over the bottom three, while Alex Neil’s Potters fall to 20th.

Back-to-back wins for Osman Kakay’s Queens Park Rangers

Under new boss Martí Cifuentes, Queens Park Rangers have registered back-to-back English Championship victories after a 2-0 win in wintry conditions at Deepdale.

The Sierra Leone International started on the bench but was substituted in the 65th minute, replacing Reggie Cannon to bookmark his 20th appearance. 

In a game of few chances, the visitors took the lead ten minutes into the second period through Paul Smyth’s close-range finish before Chris Willock made it two in the closing stages.

On Tuesday, they defeated Stoke City 4-2 in their home win this season, coming from behind to beat 10-man Stoke City.

Marti Cifuentes made four changes from the side that recorded a dramatic 4-2 win over Stoke City in W12 on Tuesday night, with Jake Clarke-Salter, Reggie Cannon, Andre Dozzell and Chris Willock coming in at the expense of Steve Cook, Osman Kakay, Elijah Dixon-Bonner and Ilias Chair.

However, they remain in the Championship bottom three but as a much-improved side under new boss Marti Cifuentes, having lost only one of the Spaniard’s five matches in charge.

Amadou Bakayoko’s Dundee travel to face Motherwell

On Saturday, Sierra Leone International Amadou Bakayoko’s Dundee set to travel to Motherwell in the cinch Premiership round fifteen.

Their first away match since Saturday, 28th October, when they defeated Livingston 0-2 at the Tony Macaroni Arena as the Dee hunt for another successful away day tomorrow at Fir Park.

Motherwell, standing 9th, will be looking to take maximum points at home after coming from a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park last weekend.

Only four points separated Dundee in 7th place and Motherwell in 9th place with Dundee having played one less game.

The teams last met on the first day of the league season in Dundee and played out an entertaining 1-1 draw.

Theo Bair scored for Motherwell just before half-time, and in the second half, Lyall Cameron scored the equaliser for The Dee in the 68th minute.

Since joining on a season-long deal for the 23/24 season from English League Two side Forest Green Rovers, Bakayoko has scored three times for the Dee.

He made his Dee debut against Inverness CT in the Viaplay Cup on 30th July 2023.
