Ethan Ennis
Ennis played 90 minutes of Fleetwood Town’s 1-1 draw with Gillingham.
He made two key passes in the match but was only able to complete two of his eight cross attempts.
Ennis had one shot that was blocked and completed two successful dribbles as he tried to take on the home defence. He also won 100% of his aerial duels in the match.
Radek Vitek
The Czech keeper made five saves in Bristol City’s 0-2 defeat to league leaders Coventry City.
Four of these stops came from shots inside the penalty area, and he also completed his only run out attempt.
Vitek also took a high claim but made a poor error for Coventry’s first goal. The ball was headed at goal and, despite being on top of the ball, Vitek let it slip under his body and over the line.
Marcus Rashford
Rashford played 62 minutes of FC Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Athletic Club.
He had one shot on target but did not complete any of his dribble attempts.
The winger did complete two key passes, though, and two more of his six cross attempts as his side secured a big victory in the title race.
Ethan Wheatley
Wheatley played 71 minutes of Bradford City’s 2-1 win over Leyton Orient.
He had three shots on goal, with one hitting the target.
The youngster completed 100% of his dribbles and also had one key pass in the match.
Wheatley also got stuck in well, winning an impressive 10 duels in the match.
Toby Collyer played the final eight minutes of Hull City’s 1-3 loss to Millwall, and Gabriele Biancheri played ten minutes of Rotherham United’s 0-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town.
