The team at WhoScored.com take you through the top five performers from the weekend action in the Sky Bet Championship...

Jamie Cumming (Oxford United) – 8.2

Jamie Cumming was the standout figure in Oxford United’s 0–0 draw away to Championship promotion hopefuls, Coventry City, producing a goalkeeping display that single-handedly preserved a valuable point.

With Oxford reduced to 10 men and under sustained pressure for long periods, Cumming was a rock at the back, making six saves while facing an xGOT of 1.2.

He denied Haji Wright early on with a sharp reaction save and produced an excellent parry to push away Tatsuhiro Sakamoto’s low effort midway through the first half.

After the break, he continued to frustrate Coventry, commanding his area well and saving a shot from Romain Esse as the hosts pressed for a breakthrough.

Cumming’s performance secured Oxford’s 7th clean sheet of the season (all competitions).

Riley McGree (Middlesbrough) – 8.4

Riley McGree delivered a quality all-round display as Middlesbrough claimed a 2–1 victory over Sheffield United, a result that lifted Boro to the top of the Championship table.

Operating between the lines, McGree made his mark early, threading a perfectly weighted through-ball in the 19th minute for Tommy Conway to open the scoring.

He then doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time, reacting quickest to head home after Hayden Hackney’s long-range effort rebounded off the post. In 67 minutes of action, McGree recorded one goal, one assist, created three key passes, and completed his work with 91% pass accuracy.

He also won three fouls, and recovered possession eight times. The win capped Boro’s sixth straight league win.

Steve Cook (QPR) – 8.8

Steve Cook produced a captain’s performance at the heart of QPR’s defence in a hard-earned 0–0 draw away to Charlton Athletic.

Cook was immense in the air, winning eight aerial duels, and relentless in his defensive work, registering three tackles, a vital last-man tackle, and an astonishing 21 clearances.

On the ball, he remained composed, completing 93% of his passes across 69 touches, helping QPR retain control when under pressure.

Cook also came close to snatching a late winner, rising highest at a corner in stoppage time only to see his header drift narrowly over.

His performance ensured QPR extended their run to three consecutive away draws.

Josh Tymon (Swansea City) – 8.8

Josh Tymon was instrumental in Swansea City’s emphatic 4–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday, delivering the most complete left-back performances of the Championship weekend.

Tymon provided the breakthrough in the 19th minute, surging forward on the overlap and whipping in a precise cross for Gonçalo Franco to tap home.

Beyond the assist, he was Swansea’s main creative outlet from wide areas, finishing with six key passes, nine crosses, two shots, and an impressive 91% pass accuracy from 73 touches.

His ability to stretch play and deliver quality into the box repeatedly caused problems for Wednesday’s defence.

Zan Vipotnik (Swansea City) – 9.1

Zan Vipotnik once again underlined his status as the Championship’s most in-form striker with a second-half brace in Swansea City’s 4–0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday.

The Slovenian forward was a constant menace throughout, registering six shots, winning two aerial duels, and linking play intelligently with one key pass before delivering the decisive moments.

He broke the deadlock in style in the 70th minute, rifling a powerful free-kick high into the net from just outside the area, before showing his composure nine minutes later by controlling Ronald’s cross and calmly slotting into the bottom corner.

The two goals took Vipotnik to 15 for the season, extending his lead at the top of the scoring charts and helping Swansea secure a sixth win in their last seven home games.
