Norwich City defender Lewis Shipley came on as a substitute as loan club Cheltenham sealed a last-gasp win over Harrogate.
The 20-year-old started on the bench for Michael Flynn’s side, coming on in the 74th minute with the game deadlocked at 0-0.
Centre-back Tom Bradbury then scored a vital winner in the 92nd minute, taking Cheltenham up to 15th after a disappointing start to the League Two campaign.
Shipley joined the Gloucestershire side on deadline day, his second fourth-tier loan move in as many seasons. He spent last term with Accrington Stanley, a mixed spell hindered by injury early on.
None of City’s other loan departures saw any game time, with the international break disrupting multiple EFL fixtures.
Ken Aboh’s Stevenage were due to face Wigan Athletic before the Latics’ call-ups meant a postponement, while Vicente Reyes’ Cambridge United saw their meeting with Bolton Wanderers pushed back. Emmanuel Adegboyega had no fixture scheduled at Dundee United.
Goalkeeper Dan Barden was in the matchday squad for Swindon Town as they took on Barrow, but was an unused substitute in their 1-1 draw. Ellis Craven was subject to the same fate, although his Boston United side beat Sutton 3-0.
The result meant a win over a former charge for once-Norwich assistant manager Ian Culverhouse, who comfortably oversaw the defeat of a side coached by Steve Morison in the National League.
