Good: Jeffrey Schlupp: Fresh from winning Crystal Palace's Player for the Month of February award, having scored twice, provided one assist and won a penalty during the period, Schlupp began March on a high as The Eagles dispatched Burnley 3-1 in the English Premier League on Saturday.

Too Bad: Kasim Nuhu Adams: A summer signing from Swiss club Young Boys, Adams picked his second red card in Hoffenheim colours when Die Kraichgauer visited Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga on Saturday.

Too Bad: Bernard Mensah - An injury saw the Atletico Madrid loanee withdrawn on 33 minutes as his Kayserispor outfit settled for a 2-2 home draw with Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday. Reports say the midfielder is expected to spend between four and five weeks on the sidelines.

Too Good: Ebenezer Ofori - It was a fine start to Major League Soccer season for New York City FC's Ofori, who netted the opener in what ended a 2-2 away draw with Orlando City FC on matchday one. He rejoined the club in January following a first loan deal last year.

Too Good: William Owusu - The striker netted his seventh goal of the season for Royal Antwerp as they beat AS Eupen 2-1 in the Belgian topflight on Sunday. He has so far made 26 league appearances involving 16 starts this campaign.

Too Good: Eric Ocansey: While Owusu and Antwerp left Bosuilstadion with utmost joy, Ocansey departed with a bittersweet memory as he grabbed Eupen's consolation goal. It was the 21-year-old's second league strike of the term.
