Leon McKenzie's match-winning display in Coventry City's 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday was the sixth best performance of the week according to the Actim Index - the Official Player Ratings of the Coca-Cola Championship.

The £1 million man sent in the cross which The Owls' Madjid Bougherra put into his own net before McKenzie broke his Sky Blues duck, grabbing two goals himself in the second half. These actions helped him earn an Actim match score of 36 points.

Since signing from Norwich City, the 28-year-old, ranked 215th overall, has played 956 minutes of league football this season. He has scored two goals, had seven shots on target, won 12 tackles, put in 21 crosses and successfully completed 97 passes.

The Sky Blues' highest ranked player in the Actim Index is Elliott Ward in 55th place. So far this season, the City defender has won 36 tackles, made 12 interceptions, 37 clearances and completed 73 passes in 17 appearances.
