Reading secure PL2 D2 play offs with 3-0 away win

Reading Under 23’s have secured their place in the Premier League 2 Division 2 play offs after a 3-0 win away to Fulham Under 23’s.

The match saw the return of Fulham’s £20 Million summer signing Alfie Mawson return from a knee injury to start in defence.

The Royals made a quick start to the game with Pressure resulting in a penalty after Ben House was brought down the Fulham keeper which allowed Sam Baldock to open the scoring.

Reading continued their dominance with forward House grabbing the second with a chip over the keeper after a strong run from Right back Teddy Howe.

Neeskens Kebano looked like Fulham’s brightest spark, making a number of strong breaks from midfield to create chances for the home side but they were unable to capitalise.

Fulham started the second half the more dominant side but once again were unable to convert which was a theme throughout the second half.

A late mix up in the Fulham defence allowed Tyler Frost to secure the win with a breakaway goal in the 88th minute.

The result means Reading now move up to 3rd in the table whilst struggling Fulham remain 11th.
