Reading cruised into the knockout stages of the EFL Trophy, with a game to spare, after demolishing rivals Swindon Town 5-0.
Take a look at the ratings below.
David Button, 6: Always tough to judge, a deckchair could have been put in goal and would have kept a clean sheet with Swindon offering very little offensively.
Andy Yiadom, 6: Very bright going forward and never truly challenged defensively. Easy day at the office for the skipper.
Clinton Mola, 6: In a more central position than he has featured since arriving, the youngster swept up well and looked to get the ball forward sharply.
Tom Holmes, 6: Loved to push forward and overlap his wing-backs, the Academy graduate limped off late on but put out a good account of himself.
Nesta Guinness-Walker, 7: Incredibly dangerous going forward and tested the Swindon back line constantly. Picked up a good assist and could have had more.
Michael Craig, 7, had an outstanding performance, without putting a foot wrong all night. Craig, who breaks up play efficiently and seldom gives the ball away, has to be in the running for a League One debut shortly.
Tivonge Rushesha, 7: Worked quietly with Craig but was highly efficient in the middle. Possibly his best effort in a Royals jersey.
Harvey Knibbs, 7: Displayed his EFL experience against a young Robins team, scoring a hat trick with ease. He needs to incorporate this into his league form.
Paul Mukairu, 6: A difficult evening for the loanee, who was busy and saw a lot of the ball but made poor decisions. I happened to be in the right place at the right moment.
