Reading can’t get it out though and concede a free-kick on the left when Rahman handballs it again. Ward’s ball beats Hein but it’s hit with so much power Knight can’t keep the header down.

WHAT A CHANCE. Hein comes flying out and punches away but he’s out of position as Ward wins it and drives into the box, the goal is open for a second but he doesn’t lift it and delays a second too long and Morrison clears off the line.

Out of nowhere, wonderful move Reading, Ince in space on the left floats a wonderful ball into Swift on the penalty spot. He really should do better than heading tamely into the arms of Benda.
