Reading 3-1 Bolton

Dec 2012: Reading refocused themselves after a disappointing last fortnight with an effective performance against mid table rivals Bolton.

Although the game started much different to how it ended when George Boyd put Bolton infront after ten minutes.

Reading, however rallied and wonderkid Pavol Vavrik equalised with his first goal for 3 months. Vavrik has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Man Utd but has repeatedly stated his desire to stay loyal to Reading.

When the first half finished 1-1, Reading emerged in the 2nd with a new attitude and it paid off straight away when Steven Fletcher scored just 3 minutes after the restart from a penalty kick. Pavol Vavrik was hauled down in the box by Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelienien.

Danny Swanson completed the scoring after 66 minutes.

Reading rise to 11th in the table, proving the critics wrong who said they were destined to go straight back to The Championship.

Reading: Cerny, Kelly (Mills 66), Van Damme, Pearce, Wallace, Besnard (Andrews 87), Karacan, Vavrik, Templeton (Langil 87), Swanson, Fletcher

Goal(s): Vavrik (16), Fletcher (48 Pen) Swanson (66)
