Ousmane Diabaté
The 18-year-old midfielder, who joined the Magpies from Gençlerbirliği Ankara S.K. earlier this month before returning to the Turkish Süper Lig side on loan for the 2026/27 season, netted the first goal of his senior career during a 2-1 home defeat against Kasımpaşa S.K.
Diabaté, who made his senior international debut for Guinea in June, opened the scoring inside 23 minutes but ended up on the losing side as the visitors struck twice in the closing stages, including a 94th minute winner.
The defensive midfielder played the full duration of the game, picking up a yellow card shortly before the hour mark.
Nick Woltemade
The Germany international joined Juventus on loan for the duration of the 2026/27 campaign and also suffered stoppage-time heartbreak in a 3-2 away defeat against Sassuolo.
The Bremen-born forward, who made his debut for The Old Lady in last weekend's 1-1 draw against AC Milan, was introduced from the substitutes' bench on the hour mark before all five goals were netted in the final 25 minutes.
Despite coming from behind twice in Reggio Emilia, courtesy of Edon Zhegrova's late brace, Vasilije Adžić's 94th minute effort proved the difference at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore.

The Irish defender joined 2. Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern on loan for the duration of the season last month and started in his side's 3-0 defeat at FC Magdeburg on Saturday.
Murphy, capped by his country at Under-21 level, was substituted just after the hour mark.
Before his loan move to Germany, Murphy spent time on loan at Bolton Wanderers, scoring twice in 13 games, and has made eight senior appearances for the Magpies since joining from hometown club Galway United in the summer of 2022.

The Winlaton-born teenager joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan and was named on the bench for Sunday's dramatic 1-0 away win at Sheffield United.
Raúl Jiménez's 90th minute strike sealed maximum points for the visitors at Bramall Lane but Neave, who made his Wolves bow in last weekend's 2-2 draw att local rivals Birmingham City, was an unused substitute.
César Peixoto's side lie in seventh place, three points adrift of Championship table toppers West Ham United, albeit with a game in hand over the Hammers.
