    Debut Red Cards, Ayew's First Goal & M69 Derby

    "I'm sure he's got to be disappointed with defensively how the team performed. I thought it seemed a little weak, it wasn't connected at all and they seemed easy to play against.

    "The two goals that Oxford scored [were] good finishes but I think a lot of that was to do with how defensively poor we were."

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin is joined by Matt Piper and Jordan Halford on the latest episode of When You're Smiling to discuss whether it was a point earned or two points dropped in the 2-2 draw at Oxford United, the debut goal for veteran forward Jordan Ayew and the upcoming M69 derby against Coventry City on Saturday.

    Forward Jamie Vardy made his debut for Cremonese on Monday night in a 0-0 draw at Verona.

    The 38-year-old, who was introduced just before the hour mark, failed to make an impact on the score when he came on from the bench.

    Newly-promoted to Italy's Serie A, Cremonese were looking to make it three wins in a row but were forced to settle for a point.

    The former Leicester City Premier League title winner moved to the Italian top flight during the summer after 13 years with the Foxes.

    Cremonese, who were promoted via the play-offs last season, have made a good start to life among the elite. They won 2-1 at AC Milan on the season's opening day and followed that with a 3-2 victory over Sassuolo.

    After the game, former England international Vardy wrote on his X account: "A good hard-fought point away from home.

    "I'm happy to have made my @USCremonese debut tonight and I'm looking forward to playing at home on Sunday."
