A titan at the back and got his head to everything to help Town register a crucial victory over Millwall.

Ben Jackson (Huddersfield Town)

Coming along nicely. Showed his versatility on the left and right - when Ollie Turton was injured - and has grasped his first-team opportunity with both hands.

Midfield: Tyler Adams (Leeds United)

Governed the midfield and was a hive of competitiveness and industry as Town delivered their best performance of the season with the ex-MK Dons man at the heart of it.

The old songs are the best and Bannan purred against Burton. Showed a fine opener and won a penalty and then provided an assist for an encore.

Harrison Biggins (Doncaster Rovers)

Continued his strong recent form and was the match-winner against Gillingham, arriving right on cue to head home. Had earlier hit the bat with a drive.

Forwards: Chuba Akpom (Middlesbrough)

Comfortably Boro's best player on Michael Carrick's bow at Preston. Found the net and linked play expertly just behind Rodrigo Muniz.

Ollie McBurnie (Sheffield United)

Heart, desire, aerial ability and a goal threat. Took his season's tally to seven and produced another commanding performance.

Iliman Ndiaye (Sheffield United)

Conjured moments of class and continued to look the part alongside McBurnie. Found the net once more - one of the division's class acts.

Manager/head coach: Jesse Marsch (Leeds United)

Headed into the game under real pressure. Ended up with bouquets and backslaps following a brilliant win for Leeds.
