The team from WhoScored.com run through the five standout performers from the latest round of League Two action.

1. Paddy Madden (10.0) - Accrington Stanley

Paddy Madden delivered a standout performance, scoring a first-half hat-trick in Accrington's emphatic 4-0 victory over high-flying Swindon Town.

His goals marked his first goals since joining on loan from Chesterfield.

Statistically, Madden was involved in all four goals alongside Isaac Heath's strike.

This is the fifth hat trick of Madden’s career and the second time he’s scored a perfect 10 rating on WhoScored (vs Sutton in December 2023).

It was also the first time since February 2024 that Madden had 5+ shots in a match.

2. Connor Jennings (9.9) - Tranmere Rovers

Connor Jennings was the catalyst in Tranmere's morale-boosting 4-1 thrashing of Bristol Rovers, ending a seven-match winless streak with a brace and an assist.

The 33-year-old captain struck first in the 51st minute and added a second at 73' before providing a low cross for Josh Davison's 79th-minute tap-in.

This is the first time in his career he has had a WhoScored rating of 9+, with his previous highest being an 8.8 rating vs Stockport in February 2024.

His brace on Saturday is only the second time in his EFL career that he has scored 2+ goals in one match.

3. Harry Anderson (9.5) - Colchester United

Harry Anderson etched his name into Colchester folklore with a magnificent first-half hat-trick during their 3-1 comeback win over Harrogate Town, extending the U's to four straight victories across all competitions.

This was Anderson's first career hat-trick, following a two-goal haul against Chesterfield two matchdays prior.

Anderson’s seven shots were his highest shot total in an EFL match, and he is only the eighth player this season to record 7+ shots in League Two.

Anderson surpassed his previous highest WhoScored rating of 9.2, set in the win over Chesterfield this season.

4. Luke Young (9.0) - Cheltenham Town

Luke Young starred as Cheltenham secured their first away win of the 2025/26 League Two season with a 2-0 shutout at Newport County, scoring both goals in a gritty performance under new boss Steve Cotterill.

The midfielder converted a first-half chance and added a second early in the second, finishing with 2/3 shots on target, 89% pass accuracy (31/35), and 6 tackles/interceptions combined.

This double extended Young's scoring run to three goals in four games since recovering from an injury-plagued end to last season, aligning with Cheltenham's transformation (7 points from 9 under Cotterill).

This is Young’s highest ever WhoScored rating, beating his 8.3 scored vs Harrogate Town in September 2024.

5. Wyll Stanway (8.8) - Barrow

Wyll Stanway was the undisputed hero in Barrow's shock 2-1 upset of League Two leaders Walsall.

He produced a man-of-the-match display with a string of superb saves despite his side playing with 10 men for the final 30 minutes.

The 24-year-old keeper faced 24 shots (11 on target), denying close-range efforts from Daniel Kanu (twice), a Charlie Lakin rocket, and two Courtney Clarke curlers, while claiming 5/7 crosses.

He recorded an 82% save percentage and distributed accurately (78% long balls).

Since joining from non-league Chester last year, Stanway has kept 6 clean sheets in 15 starts, but this was his finest hour, thwarting Walsall's siege after Lewis Shipley's red card.

His 11 saves were the highest in a League Two game this season, the highest of his EFL career, and only the second keeper in the whole of the EFL to make 11+ saves this campaign (Pierce Charles 11 Sheffield Wednesday vs Leicester).
