    Just what the doctor ordered. Eight games unbeaten and Reading are now well into the top six. You can now see Jaap Stam is building something. It wasn't as clinical as most of the games we've had recently, but it's all about getting over the line, and Reading have done that.

    Wolves add a third goal late on to beat Brentford 3-1, while Cardiff pick up a crucial 2-1 win at Rotherham to ease the pressure on manager Paul Trollope.

    Ivan Cavaleiro, 90+3 mins

    Brentford might have been threatening but it's Wolves who have a third and all three points.

    It owes much to the persistence of Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, who takes down a clearance, brings the ball forward, and, with Wolves with a three-on-one, squares for Ivan Cavaleiro to slot in.

    There's plenty of added time for Brentford to find an equaliser at Molineux where Wolves are almost defending in the car park, they're that deep.
