    Bristol City were not at their best and Reading were very good going forward. Daniel Bentley kept City in the game.

    Game over. Reading's forward men have been superb today and they wrap the points up on the counter.

    Yakou Meite finds Lucas Joao with a fine low cross from the right and Joao turns in the box and nets his 12th goal of the season. Class.

    If it stays like this, Reading would leapfrog Bristol City and go third in the table, before the 15:00 GMT kick-offs...

    Reading 2-1 Bristol City

    Yakou Meite has already scored his fifth goal of the season in this half - and a brilliant one at that - but he really should have had his sixth there.

    Reading 2-1 Bristol City

    Here's a golden chance for Reading to wrap up the points. Omar Richards' deflected shot loops on to the crossbar and bounces back out to Yakou Meite, but he heads inches wide when the net was empty!

    The hosts are back in front! It's clinical finishing from Yakou Meite. The visitors are defending with a high line and Ovie Ejaria plays a perfectly-weighted through ball for Meite to race on to and he superbly places the ball in to the bottom corner.

    Bristol City were level for just three minutes.

    Suddenly, both teams are pushing forward in search of a second goal. This is anybody's game now. Chris Martin goes close for the visitors.
