Here are our player ratings from Reading's 3-1 home win over Derby County.
Rafael - 8
Produced two fantastic saves in quick succession to deny Kazim-Richards and Lawrence halfway through the first half. Turned a vicious strike from Bird behind but was beaten by an incredible strike from Lawrence.
Andy Yiadom - 7
Maintained possession really well and was very strong in the challenge. Got forward well on the overlap but let himself down on a couple of ocassions with poor delivery, but otherwise a good afternoon.
Tom Holmes - 7
Filled in for Michael Morrison and didn't look out of place. Commanding in the air and even posed a threat in the other box.
Liam Moore - 7
Left a bit of space at times in the box but commanded the back four well and threw himself in harms way when it really mattered.
Omar Richards - 6
Was substituted with injury but had a decent afternoon before that, showing good skill to get the ball out of dangerous spots.
Josh Laurent - 7
Kept the midfield ticking over and covered a lot of ground to limit the influence of Derby's midfield players with a tireless display. Threaded some nice passes into the channels.
Andy Rinomhota - 7
Grabbed an assist for the opening goal and provided an effective shield for the midfield which allowed the midfielders in front of him to flourish.
Ovie Ejaria - 7
Showed some sublime pieces of skill out on the wing to get out of tight spots as Derby tried to crowd him out. Should have probably been awarded a penalty.
Michael Olise - 8
Opened the scoring with a spectacular finish from the edge of the box and provided a creative threat all afternoon, putting several inch-perfect crosses into the box from set-pieces.
Yakou Meite - 8
Produced a few nice runs and was full of energy and opened the pitch up with some searing runs into space. Combined well with Yiadom on the overlap.
George Puscas - 8
Show a fantastic strikers instinct to be in the right place at the right time for Reading's second. Worked the channnels well all afternoon and brought others into play.
SUBS
Lewis Gibson - 7
Did the ugly stuff really well after he came on and looked very confident and solid in the left-back role.
Lucas Joao - 8
What a way to answer your critics. Fair play! Scored with his first touch and looked to be playing with a point to prove during his cameo.
Neither Aluko or Esteves featured for long enough for a fair rating.
