Reading away

Jobi McAnuff has said that Reading FC's dramatic 3-3 draw with Queens Park Rangers sums up where both sides are at so far this season. Royals looked to be on course for a much-needed win as they led 3-1 against the high-flying R's at the Select Car Leasing Stadium with less than 15 minutes to go, after John Swift had completed a hat-trick for Veljko Paunovic's side in the 77th minute. But QPR loanee Andre Gray reduced the deficit two minutes after Swift's third, before Stefan Johansen struck in the first minute of injury time to salvage a point for Mark Warburton's side and deny Reading only a second win of the season.



The result leaves the Royals third from bottom in the Championship with just four points from their first six games of the new campaign, having won just once so far this season against Preston North End last month. And McAnuff has spoken of what the result against QPR means for Reading as he delivered his verdict on his old side, with the Royals now conceding 16 goals in six league games so far. Speaking on EFL on Quest, the former Royals winger said: "Absolutely, I think that is a game and a result that completely sums up where both teams are, with one who is full of confidence and coming from 3-1 down with not long left at all, and you contrast that with Reading, who should have seen that out. "[Stefan] Johansen was there coming to the rescue and getting that late equaliser, but Reading will be really disappointed not to see that out."
