Reading eased their relegation worries with a home win over Manchester City. A second-half strike from Shane Long and a late goal from substitute Dave Kitson proved enough for a second successive win by the Royals to move out of the bottom three.

City lost captain Richard Dunne to a leg injury, which needed stitches. This defeat will dent City's bid for Europe, while Reading move up to 13th off the back of the result.
