Wigan Athletic winger's dazzling display ranked best in the division, Stoke City stopper's heroic efforts between the sticks - Championship stats round-up
Here's our rundown of some of the most compelling statistics (Sourced from Whoscored) from the latest set of Championship fixtures, where we take a look at the star players, passing maestros and bullish defenders who stood out from their fellow footballers.

1. Top Stopper - Jack Butland - Stoke City
His chances of getting an England call-up for Euro 2020 aren't looking great, but he was in excellent form as his side earned a 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers. Butland saved all six of the opposition shots on target.

2. Defensive Wall - Matthew Pennington - Hull City
One clearance off the line is considered heroic, three is probably enough to earn you an OBE! The Everton loanee was the hero of his injury-ravaged side, but Barnsley still managed to edge a 1-0 win.

3. Slick Passer - Barry Bannan - Sheffield Wednesday
The Scottish Xavi was at it again for the Owls, with 91% accuracy from his 77 passes. He also made two key passes to set up chances, and played eight successful long balls to boot.

4. Tackling Machine - Liam Cooper - Leeds United
Leeds United made it three wins from three with a 1-0 victory against Middlesbrough. Defender Liam Cooper kept Boro at bay with four tackles, five interceptions, three clearances and a block - not a bad evening's work!
