  2. 'What every kid dreams of'published at 22:01 BST 9 September 2016

    FT: Reading 2-1 Ipswich

    Reading match-winner Danny Williams told Sky Sports: "It was pressure (to take the penalty) but I think that's what every kid dreams of, in these games in the last minute. 

    "Going into the top three is a massive boost but I don't think we should get carried away. Last season we were second when we beat Middlesbrough."

    Sweet Caroline plays across the tannoy again.... They love it at the Mad Stad.

    Reading 2-1 Ipswich

    What a way to end the game. A late penalty to Reading in the first half, and a very late one again in the second to win it.

    The big talking point after this match will be shirt holding for sure. But players cannot say they haven't been warned.

    Another penalty!

    Jonas Knudsen is not looking at the ball and instead is holding onto Joey van Den Berg at that corner and the referee points to the spot for a third time in this match.

    The referee books Reading's Joey van den Berg and Ipswich's Christophe Berra for getting close to each other in the box.

    Corner to Reading. Late drama anyone?

  8. Reading 1-1 Ipswichpublished at 90+2 mins

    What was I saying about Cole Skuse's goal record?

    He has another pop, this time with his left, but that shot is wayward.

  9. Reading 1-1 Ipswichpublished at 90+1 mins

    Reading go close late on.

    John Swift's free-kick is wonderfully headed down towards goal by Yann Kermorgant but Joey van den Berg can't connect to it and the ball is gathered by Bartosz Bialkowski.

    We have four minutes of injury time...

    John Swift takes the Reading corner aimed towards Yann Kermorgant but his header doesn't drop to a team-mate.

    He looks frustrated.

    "I think a draw would be fair. Two dodgy penalty decisions, 1-1, job done."

    Grant Ward may have given a penalty away but he has looked bright for Ipswich this evening.

    His race is run as he is replaced by Luke Varney.

    Cole Skuse, seen here with a high boot, has scored one goal in four years.

    But he has a strike from distance that is easily gathered by Ali Al-Habsi.

    Jordan Obita is straight in on the action as his cross is a very good one, but fellow sub Stephen Quinn can't get his header on target under pressure from Tommy Smith.

    Tyler Blackett has been caused some trouble by Grant Ward and he is replaced in the Reading left-back position by Jordan Obita.

    Freddie Sears plays in another corner but it is punched away by Al Al-Habsi.

    At the moment, Ipswich are looking the more likely, but it's so tight I don't want to call it. Thank goodness I'm not a betting man, eh?

    Mick Mills
    Former Ipswich captain, BBC Radio Suffolk

    “We look dangerous from free play and set plays. This is a good opportunity to pick this game off.

    "The game has changed now, it's predominately us."

  19. Reading 1-1 Ipswichpublished at 78 mins

    Another Ipswich corner from which Jonathan Douglas heads towards goal, but it's straight into the hands of the Reading keeper.

  20. Reading 1-1 Ipswichpublished at 77 mins

    Reading's two successive corners come to nothing and Ipswich go on a swift counter attack, but Freddie Sears can't find the right pass.

    Eventually Brett Pitman plays the ball into the area into the 'corridor of uncertainty' but Teddy Bishop went down under pressure.

    No penalty though.
