West Ham defender Reece Oxford enjoys Gladbach debut

West Ham defender Reece Oxford made his Bundesliga debut with Borussia Monchengladbach on the weekend.

Oxford made his debut as Gladbach beat Hoffenheim 3-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

It was a brief appearance, but significant as there has been talk of the defender cutting short the loan in January.

Oxford was introduced with a minute of normal time left to play, helping his side hold onto the points at Rhein Neckar Arena.

Though the appearance was Oxford's first in a competitive fixture, the defender did play a number of times for the side during pre-season, scoring in a 2-1 win against Spanish side Malaga.

The 18-year-old has previously been an unused substitute in every other Bundesliga fixture this campaign.
