Omar Richards' first senior goal broke the deadlock in the first half for Reading at the City Ground
Nottingham Forest ended a near 500-minute Championship goal drought as Lee Tomlin rescued a draw against Reading.
Tomlin latched on to Joe Lolley's square ball for Forest's late equaliser and their first league goal since 20 January, in a surprise win at Wolves.
Full-back Omar Richards had fired Reading ahead in the first half after Costel Pantilimon could only parry a Chris Gunter shot across goal.
The draw means both sides have won just once in their past 12 league games.
Forest and Reading stay 17th and 18th respectively with the Royals four points above the relegation zone.
Aitor Karanka's side are without a win in five Championship matches since they shocked leaders Wolves at Molineux. Reading's only win in their past dozen matches came at strugglers Burton.
Richards' first senior goal looked to have been enough to secure a welcome win, but Jaap Stam's side were made to weather a second-half response from the hosts.
Tendayi Darikwa was twice denied a leveller for Forest as he struck the crossbar before Richards blocked his rebound on the goal line.
Cardiff City loanee Tomlin eventually found the back of the net as his low finish on the edge of the penalty box evaded Vito Mannone in the Reading goal.
Nottingham Forest manager Aitor Karanka told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"We need to go to the pitch in the way we've gone in the second half because in the second half the atmosphere was amazing and we need to give the crowd that atmosphere.
"We needed to be more aggressive because we were losing every single challenge in the first half. I'm really pleased with the response of the crowd.
"We have a lot of good players and main thing is to create those chances, to play intense, to play aggressive and if we play that way we will have chances and we will win the games."
Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"First half I thought was very good, we played some very good football and created some good opportunities to maybe score more than one.
"Second half, we wanted to continue that and play a bit more aggressive against their press, which made it difficult at times.
"We were confident today what we could've done, unfortunately we couldn't find the second goal but at times we should've done better.
"Playing here isn't always the easiest. A point is at least something out of it, but of course we would've rather had three."
