Zan Vipotnik opened the scoring in the 21st minute and then led Swansea City to a 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers. He is now on 13 goals, top of the Championship scoring charts.

His opener put Swansea in front. He kept offering himself in central areas, registering three touches in the box before the interval as the home side built territory.

After the restart, he doubled up with a header (63.) from Josh Tymon's cross, restoring control and giving Swansea breathing space.

He finished with three attempts, two on target, five touches in the box and five aerial duels won, plus six possessions won. Numbers that underline both his penalty box threat and his graft without the ball.

His aerial presence and persistence repeatedly drew Blackburn's back line into duels, helping Swansea control key phases and see the game out on their terms.

Swansea rise from 16th to 15th and visit Hull next. Blackburn drop from 20th to 21st and host Watford next.

How high would you rate Vipotnik's performance tonight?
