Reading FC: Bittersweet first goal for Joao

Despite opening his Royals account against Hull, Joao couldn't inspire his side to a win.

After joining Reading from Sheffield Wednesday, Lucas Joao scored on debut, but couldn't prevent his side falling to a 2-1 defeat in their second league game of the season.

"It's sad to score and lose the game," Joao told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor. "I came here to help the team.

"I hope I can do my job, but I hope the team wins as well."

And Joao says that manager Jose Gomes was a key reason behind signing for Reading.

"I saw him a few times in the Portuguese league.

"As soon as he came in [at Reading] I had the opportunity to talk to him."
