Ehibhatiomhan came off the bench to get on the end of a cross to score the vital winner to put Reading into the League One play-off positions. A cross that hit a Burton player on the way in found it's way onto Ehibhatiomhan's head to make it 2-1 to the Royals with just two minutes left to play and secure the three points. Kamari Doyle had earlier equalised with an impressive strike to make it 1-1 at half time after Burton went ahead on 25 minutes.

Play Offs Start To Slip Away

Roared on by a huge contingent of travelling fans, Argyle initially threatened to overwhelm Reading with route one tactics which entailed their team getting as many players (and the ball) forward as rapidly as possible. Reading to their credit were not fazed by the onslaught which saw Pepple receive in a yellow card the first minute. In fact, they delivered the perfect response by taking an early lead. Rendell Williams latched on to a ball on the break, and using his pace and strength, worked himself a position on the right to deliver a cross which caught out Argyle 'keeper Ashby-Hammond drifting over his head inside the far post. The goal certainly didn't dampen the spirits of the travelling fans who remained in good voice and a mere three minutes later reached a crescendo when centre back Mitchell timed his run across the box to meet Curtis's corner to tuck away the equaliser. Reading's defence collectively was slow to react and paid a heavy price being second to the ball. Reading certainly hadn't weathered the early storm but gradually played their way calmly into the game.
