FT: Reading 1-0 QPR
Reading midfielder Charlie Adam told Sky Sports:
"It was a great strike and there are probably only three or four players in this league who have the ability to do that.
"We see it in training, he's a wonderful talent and we're lucky to have him. Hopefully he can keep producing until the end of the season.
"We're delighted with another clean sheet and we move up the league. We keep going and try to win as many games as possible."

Reading matchwinner John Swift told Sky Sports:
"It's definitely up there with one of the best I've hit in my career.
"You only score two or three of those in your career and luckily it's come tonight.
"Sitting on then bench for the last 10 minutes was agonising but the lads put the work in and ended up getting a good three points."
