  2. Reading slip to 20th placepublished at 19:38 British Summer Time 30 September 2017

    FT: Reading 1-2 Norwich

    Reading managed just one shot on target in the whole 95 minutes. Their poor run of form, which has seen them go five Championship games without a win, leaves Jaap Stam's side on nine points from 10 games - just one point above the relegation zone.

    By contrast, Norwich may have conceded their first goal in six league games, but Daniel Farke's side looked solid and well-drilled. The Canaries have moved up to ninth place - two points adrift of the play-off places.

  3. Reaction: Jerome on Norwich's new systempublished at 19:33 British Summer Time 30 September 2017

    FT: Reading 1-2 Norwich

    Daniel Farke has Norwich playing exactly how he wants them too and match-winner Cameron Jerome says the players are now fully on-board with the German coach's style.

    He told Sky Sports: "It's a new system with a new style of play. Obviously it has taken some time to implement it, but it's working for us now.

    "We've gone away from the free-flowing style to a more balanced defensive style."

  4. Reaction: James Maddison wins Man of the Matchpublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 30 September 2017

    FT: Reading 1-2 Norwich

    Norwich midfielder James Maddison opened the scoring with a lovely free-kick and provided the corner for Cameron Jerome to score the second. He deservedly picks up the Man of the Match award for his efforts.

    He told Sky Sports: "I'm happy to chip in with goals. As an attacking midfielder you have to get goals and assists.

    "For the free-kick I just said to Wes (Hoolahan) 'I fancy this one' and luckily I took it and it went in."

    After his final game in caretaker charge of Birmingham City ended in a 6-1 loss at Hull, Lee Carsley told BBC WM:

    "It was disappointing. I need to take responsibility for a lot of the performance today. I gambled.

    "I thought, after the performance on Wednesday, that maybe I could squeeze a little bit more out of the lads.

    "But it just looked like it was too much for some of the lads. We looked vulnerable to counter attacks.

    "It is an all-round poor day at the office, a big blow today. It is an embarrassing defeat."
