MIDFIELDER Charly Alcaraz played for over an hour as Juventus scored a late winner to beat Frosinone 3-2 in Serie A.

The Argentinian, who left Saints on loan on deadline day, came on in the 28th minute and helped his new side to a comeback win.

Juventus were 2-1 behind when Alcaraz entered the action and the 21 year old, who has made three sub appearances to date, will be hoping his positive showing leads to a first start for the Italian giants.

Asked about his future following the win, Alcaraz said: "It’s still early to talk about it, big games await us starting from the one against Napoli.

"I don’t want to think too much about the future, I’m trying to do my best. My head is here."

The Old Lady have a £43 million buy option on the loan deal so if he impresses until the end of the season, there is a chance the move is made permanent.

Over in France, Duje Caleta-Car played the full game as Lyon won their fifth match in a row - as they saw off Metz 2-1.

The centre-back was out of the team at the beginning of the season with the French side struggling near the foot of the Ligue 1 table.

But his integration into the team has meant Pierre Sage's side are now chasing a European spot.

Ex-Premier League players Alexandre Lacazette and Said Benrahma scored the goals for Lyon - with former Saints man Ainsley Maitland-Niles also playing the full match.

In Turkey, Mateusz Lis kept a clean sheet as Goztepe won 3-0 against Adanspor, while Paul Onuachu was a second-half substitute during Trabzonspor's 1-0 victory over Adana Demirspor.

The Nigerian international has hit nine goals for the 2021-22 Turkish champions, who are reportedly interested in making his loan switch permanent. 

Lyanco played the whole game as his Qatari Stars League side Al-Gharafa were beaten 2-1 by Al-Ahli.

Domestically, Lewis Payne and Derrick Abu were in League Two action but both found themselves on the wrong end of defeats.

Payne's Newport County side lost 3-0 to MK Dons - with the right-back being introduced in the 18th minute - while Abu played the full game as Harrogate Town lost 2-0 to Walsall. Payne, 19, has not started a game for the Welsh side since January 1.

Goalkeeper Oliver Wright, who is on loan at National League South side Worthing, also played 90 minutes but was edged out 1-0 by Braintree Town.

Young defender Jem Hewlett was involved in Chippenham Town's 2-1 win over Dover Athletic - he was substituted after 67 minutes.

Defender Armel Bella-Kotchap was unused as PSV Eindhoven continued to run riot in the Eredivisie, beating PEC Zwolle 7-1.

The young German international has battled with injury concerns this season and last played a game on October 8 against Sparta Rotterdam.

French full-back Romain Perraud was also an unused substitute as his OGC Nice side drew 0-0 with bottom-of-the-table Clermont Foot.
