Loan watch: Tavares and Vieira face off in Europe

Two of our loanees faced off against each other in the Europa League last week as Fabio Vieira's Porto took on Nuno Tavares' Lazio in the Europa League.

Nuno played 89 minutes, with Fabio playing 84 minutes, in the European match-up, but it was Lazio who clinched a 2-1 victory courtesy of a 92nd-minute winner from Pedro to reach the top of the table, the only side with a maximum points haul after four matches. Porto meanwhile are 22nd with just one win in that time.

Domestically, there was further success for Tavares on Sunday as he returned from his one-match suspension to help the Rome side defeat Monza 1-0.
