Blackburn secured perhaps the biggest result of the weekend in the Championship as they beat Norwich 3-1 at Carrow Road and Rovers have two players make the top five best performers as a result. Plymouth and Birmingham also feature as WhoScored.com run through the five best rated players from the weekend's action.

5. Ethan Laird (Birmingham) - 8.36 rating

Birmingham may have thrown away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 draw with Ipswich on Saturday but that didn't stop right-back Ethan Laird from returning a WhoScored.com rating of 8.36. Both goals Birmingham conceded came after Laird's 78th-minute withdrawal, and he evidently shone prior to his second half substitution. Indeed, the 22-year-old made five tackles, three cleareances and two interceptions, and completed two dribbles, to secure his spot in the side.

4. Michael Cooper (Plymouth) - 8.55 rating

Plymouth played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough on Saturday and while Pilgrims shotstopper Michael Cooper shipped three times at Home Park, the 24-year-old features with a WhoScored.com rating of 8.55. Cooper made eight saves in total, including a second half penalty stop, to help make the XI.

3. Finn Azaz (Plymouth) - 8.66 rating

Remaining at Home Park, Plymouth's Finn Azaz earned the WhoScored.com player of the match award having returned a rating of 8.66. Azaz was directly involved in two of Plymouth's three goals, following up his 34th-minute assist for Bali Mumba with a goal of his own four minutes later. Those came from respective returns of three key passes and two shots, while the 23-year-old also completed three dribbles to make the side.

2. Andrew Moran (Blackburn) - 8.72 rating

Blackburn secured one of the results of the weekend as they beat Norwich 3-1 at Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon. Winger Andrew Moran registered a brace of assists in the win, those coming from three key passes, and he chipped in with five dribbles as the Canaries backline struggled to contain the 20-year-old, who is good value for his inclusion with a WhoScored.com rating of 8.72.

1. Sammie Szmodics (Blackburn) - 9.17 rating

Remaining at Carrow Road, Sammie Szmodics is the WhoScored.com Championship player of the week having returned a rating of 9.17. The 28-year-old netted either side of half time, getting the better of George Long with two of four shots, and he was a real handful for the Norwich backline having completed three dribbles and created two goalscoring opportunities in a standout display.
