Erik Nevland was the biggest mover in The Actim Index, the official player ratings system of the Barclays Premier League, after firing Fulham to a crucial win.

The Norway international netted his first goal for the club in injury-time as Fulham beat Reading 2-0 at the Madejski Stadium – their first away victory in 33 league games.

Nevland, who came on as a late substitute, posted a season`s-best 18 points to move 120 places into 442nd.

Wales midfielder Simon Davies is the only Fulham player in the top 100, sitting 46th with 374 points.
