Boxing Day Sport

Reading played host to Cardiff today at the Madejski Stadium and for the most part had run of play. Points were even until the 89th minute when Chopra scored for the visitors and looked to have secured only their fourth win of the season. In the fifth minute of added- on time for injuries, Reading Goalkeeper Adam Federici left his position for a corner and leveled the scores. Phew!

The Royals took a deserved point and remain second in the league above Birmingham on goal difference and in line for automatic promotion back to the Premiership.
