Sept 2012: The Royals ended their run of 3 straight league defeats with a hard fought victory over a determined Everton side at Goodison Park.

The hosts bombarded keeper Tomas Cerny’s goal in the opening 15 minutes before Reading found some sort of stable ground. From then on the match was more or less evenly contested with both sides failing to create any real chances.

In the second half Everton dominated possession wise, but created very few openings much in part due to a superb defensive performance from both Alex Pearce and Matt Mills.

Reading now end the month of September in 16th position on 5 points. Only 2 points seperates them from bottom club Middlesbrough who they play next.

Reading: Cerny, Boakye, Mills, Pearce, Wallace, Cohen, Kacaran, Vavrik, Templeton (Svec 4), Swanson, Maazou

Tevez was on form for City

Sept 2012: Reading suffered their 3rd consecutive defeat as Man City brushed them aside at The Madjeski Stadium.

Reading looked tired throughout and created only 1 shot on target. Meanwhile Man City bombarded the Reading defence and had two goals chopped off that could have made the scoreline a whole lot worse for Reading.

A brace from Tevez and a penalty from James Milner helped the men in sky blue to an ultimatley comfortable win.

Reading: Cerny, Boakye, Mills, Pearce, Wallace, Cohen, Karacan, Vavrik, Swanson, Templeton, Maazou
