Reading stars Lucas Joao and Tom Ince have been included in the Whoscored Championship Team of the Week.
A brace from the Angolan forward on Sunday, the day of he turned 29, was enough to earn three points against Stoke City- bouncing back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to Sheffield United on Tuesday.
Netting his second and third goals of the campaign, he scored 8.4; bettered only by Burnley's Arijanet Muric, Norwich City's Josh Sargent and Bristol City's Nakhi Wells.
Ince, despite not scoring or gaining an assist during the week, has come in for plenty of praise among the Royals supporters- winning the Player of the Month award on popular fan side the Tilehurst End also.
Reading have started the season emphatically, sitting in third place with five wins from the opening eight matches.
