Reading cruised past league leaders Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday, winning 3-0 at the SCL Stadium.

Here are the player ratings.

Joe Lumley- 8: After the difficult performance against the Millers, it was touch and go as to whether the on-loan stopper would bounce back. He did just that, making a quality second half save and keeping a clean sheet. Brilliant resilience from the stopper.

Junior Hoilett- 8: His best performance out of position, the ex-Rovers winger wasa bundle of energy all night. Capping his performance with a stunning goal, a great evening for the Canada international.

Andy Yiadom- 7: Won his battles and lead by example, a real captain's performance from the skipper.

Tom Holmes- 7: Strong in the air, and in the tackle, the Academy graduate was unbeatable against his visitng counterpart. Even marauding forward at times into midfield, he was everywhere.

Reading Chronicle:

Tom McIntyre- 8: A top performance at the back from the Academy graduate, he even set the ball rolling in front of goal with a flicked header in the first half.

Nesta Guinness-Walker- 7: A coming-of-age performance for the youngster, he was a thorn in the defenders side all game and won his duels at the back. His best game in a Royals shirt.

Tyrese Fornah- 8: Another season best- the on-loan midfielder bossed the game. Hardly missing a tackle and gaining an assist, he's visibilty improved every game.

Mamadou Loum- 8: Complimenting Fornah perfectly, the pair ran the show. Protecting the back three and offering support to the attackers, he looks some player.

Reading Chronicle:

Jeff Hendrick- 7: A good performance from the loanee, but could have been better. Almost got himself a goal and linked well with Ince.

Tom Ince- 7: Ran himself ragged but end product was often poorer than previous matches. Twice won the ball high but overhit a pass and move broke down. Cannot fault effort but has had better days.

Shane Long- 8: Had a great tussle with Daniel Ayala in the first half and schooled Ashley Phillips in the second. First touch and hold-up play exceptional.

Substitutes

Lucas Joao- 7: First minutes of the season and already on the score sheet. A different striker to Long but scores goals, a must-have for any club looking to survive in the Championship.

Kelvin Abrefa- 6: Did his job and helped preserve a much-warranted clean sheet.
