FULL TIME 3-0. Instant Reaction & more soon...
******
GOAL! 3-0 Reading. Blackman wins and converts a penalty. Game, set & match.
******
Mackie, rather. BBC Berks, that error was on you ;)

Oh dear. Murray hits it over from 5 yards out, goal gaping. 2nd week in a row a Royals striker misses such a chance...
******
Mackie flicked on a corner and Taylor sent it in, possibly an OG. We shall see.
******
GOAL: 2-0 Reading, Jake Taylor, who has just come on for Cox, sealing the win with a goal from a corner.
******
Positives: The result. 1-0 Reading.
Negatives: The game itself. Yawn.
******
Half-time.

Feels like that was a huge error from Tangerines keeper Lewis, what are we thinking?
******
GOAL: 1-0 Reading! Murray

Not the liveliest opening exchanges
