Arsenal currently have 17 players out on loan and eight of them were in action this weekend.
Daniel Ballard got on the scoresheet with Millwall as they grabbed a point at West Brom with a 1-1 draw. Ballard’s goal was the equaliser, too. Last season, while on loan with Blackpool, Ballard scored two.
After the game, Ballard hailed a ‘very good week’. He told the official Millwall site, “It’s been a very good week!
“The goal with Northern Ireland was a really proud moment for me, so I was coming back on a high anyway, but then to get the goal here as well, in front of the away fans, is really special – as you could see by the celebration!”
Arsenal defender Dan Ballard scored his first senior goal for Northern Ireland tonight.
