Jacob Devaney just had a club return you wouldn’t wish on your worst rival. The Manchester United youngster was on the pitch for barely ten minutes with Hibernian against Dundee United, and in that brutal span, he managed to pick up a yellow card, concede a penalty, and then get sent off.
Devaney’s Disaster: From Bench to Red Card in Minutes
Seriously, what even happened out there? Devaney, who apparently was looking good earlier in the week in the Republic of Ireland under-21s’ 3-1 win over England, came off the bench for the last 10 minutes of Hibernian’s match. His team was already down 0-1, and he certainly didn’t help. Almost immediately, he snagged a yellow card. Then, to make things worse, he gave away a penalty. But the true gut punch came when VAR stepped in, checked the images, and ruled he was the last man. Bang, first senior career red card. Dude didn’t even complete a single pass or win any duels. Just a very poor cameo, truly horrendous. Hibernian lost 0-1, and you gotta wonder what this means for his loan spell.
Onana Keeps Rolling, Trabzonspor Climbs the Table
Meanwhile, away from the chaos, Andre Onana is still putting in work, man. The Cameroonian keeper, on loan with Trabzonspor in Turkey, is having a straight-up positive start to his season. He just notched another clean sheet in a dominant 3-0 away win against Samsunspor. That result pushes Trabzonspor up to third in the table, only three points back from Galatasaray at the top. Onana was sharp, making six saves, including two from shots right inside the box. He didn’t dish out any key passes and only completed 50% of his passes, plus he made one error that led to an opponent shot, but thankfully, nothing came of it. He also made one clearance and was perfect in his duels, winning 100%. Solid performance in goal.
Fitzgerald’s Brief Runout for Rotherham
Over at Rotherham United, Jayce Fitzgerald also saw some late-game action. He came on for the last few minutes of their 1-4 defeat to Gillingham. He completed 75% of his passes and made one clearance. Not much to write home about, just a quiet appearance.
So, a rough day for Devaney and Fitzgerald, but Onana’s out there making moves. Onana’s next challenge is coming up quick, an away match against KuPS in the Conference League on Thursday afternoon. You gotta think the spotlight is gonna be squarely on Devaney though after that unbelievable performance. What’s next for him after a start like that?
