Harvey Knibbs joined Reading from Cambridge United in the summer of 2023
Stevenage and Reading served up a League One treat as they battled to a 1-1 draw at the Lamex Stadium.
Dan Kemp had fired Boro into a first-half lead but the Royals grabbed a deserved share of the spoils when Harvey Knibbs knocked home an equaliser with seven minutes remaining.
The first half was a thoroughly enjoyable game of football with both sides wanting to go forward.
But it was Stevenage who got the all-important breakthrough in superb style.
A free-kick was delivered into the left side of the box and a nod down from Carl Piergianni found Nick Freeman.
He shaped to shoot but instead clipped a cross to the back post which was swept home by Kemp.
A half-time switch changed the momentum and put Reading on the front foot as they dominated possession.
Murphy Cooper had made one stop in the first half but was much more involved after the break to beat away efforts from Ben Elliott and Charlie Savage.
But he was helpless when a ball in from the byline found Knibbs in the middle, and from 10 yards he made sure of a point for Reading.
