    Almost the final kick of the first half sees Fulham double their lead.

    Harry Wilson's earlier gift of a goal and then it was he who was fouled for the penalty in the last few seconds of injury time for Aleksandar Mitrovic to convert.

    Boos from the home fans as the whistle goes for the interval.

    Wycombe have gone 1-0 up in League One's late kick-off at Bolton Wanderers.

    Brandon Hanlan has found the net 10 minutes from half-time and as it stands - with Sunderland losing 1-0 at home to Lincoln - the Chairboys could be one point behind the Wearsiders if results stay as they are.

    Fulham's threat still remains though at the other end.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic looked in on goal for his 23rd of the season but Luke Southwood tipped his attempted lob over the crossbar and behind for a corner.

    Reading are getting closer to an equaliser.

    Andy Carroll finds the back of the net with a spectacular overhead kick - but is flagged offside from Junior Hoilett's delivery.

    A minute later, he puts the ball in the net AGAIN! This time with a well-struck half-volley from outside the box, but again the flag was already up.

    Half-time at Sunderland and the hosts still trail 1-0 to Lincoln City thanks to Chris Maguire's lovely strike just after the half-hour mark.

    Maguire - who was released by Sunderland in the summer - didn't celebrate in front of the home fans, but he did have a word or two with Black Cats boss Lee Johnson who let him go at the end of last season.

    Elsewhere, AFC Wimbledon's hopes of getting one over their big rivals MK Dons have taken a blow after Nesta Guinness-Walker was sent off for two bookings in 12 minutes - Milton Keynes lead 1-0.

    Both those games are at half-time, while the late kick-off between Bolton and Wycombe is still 0-0

    Ambitious appeals for a penalty for Reading as Andy Carroll goes to ground in the Fulham area.

    Tosin Adarabioyo was there to dispossess him and referee Andy Woolmer had no interest in that at all.

    Reading 0-1 Fulham

    Mamadi Camara with Reading's best chance so far almost brings it level.

    Junior Hoilett once again gets free down their left and squares it towards the penalty spot.

    Camara takes a touch and then swivels with a back-heeled effort on target that forces Marek Rodak to make a low save and push it behind for a corner.

    Harry Wilson should arguably have bagged a second goal here.

    Set free down the middle from Neeskens Kebano's ball into the Reading half, he looks clear through.

    But as he beared down on goal, he just couldn't get enough of a powerful touch on it towards goal as Luke Southwood came off his line.

    Ball goes wide for a goal kick.

    Goals starting to go in in League One and there's a big one at the Stadium of Light as Lincoln City have gone 1-0 up at second-placed Sunderland.

    Chris Maguire has put the Imps ahead against the side he left in the summer and promptly celebrated in front of his old boss Lee Johnson.

    The Black Cats, remember, need just a point to go top of the table.

    Elsewhere, Milton Keynes Dons have also gone a goal up at home to AFC Wimbledon thanks to a Matthew O'Riley goal.

    It's still 0-0 between Bolton and Wycombe.

    Reading 0-1 Fulham

    Reading giving it a go trying to take the game to Fulham and their fans doing their best too to try and back them up.

    But, Fulham are quick to break them down and try and set things up going forward themselves.

    Not too much to concern Marek Rodak so far as he gathers a stray cross from Junior Hoilett.

  17. League Two latestpublished at 20:18 Greenwich Mean Time 11 January 2022

    Forest Green could be 10 points clear tonight - they still lead 1-0 at home to Colchester United.

    But Salford City have gone 1-0 up at home to second-placed Tranmere after Aramide Oteh's 31st-minute strike.

    Mansfield Town look well on course for an 11th win in 13 games in all competitions having gone 3-1 up at home to Swindon Town.

    Jordan Bowery's goal two minutes before half-time has the Stags closing in on the play-off places.

    It's almost half-time in that game after their 19:30 GMT kick off.

    A massive test this now for a Reading side who are without a home win in their past six league matches.

    Oh no - Reading have a moment to forget and gift Fulham the opener!

    Harry Wilson will not score an easier goal this season after Josh Laurent, playing as makeshift right-back, picks up the pass from Mamadi Camara and without really looking, tries to play it back towards his goalkeeper Luke Southwood.

    But, he clearly didn't spot a waiting Wilson on the edge of the penalty area, who pounced on the loose pass and had plenty of time and an open goal to slot it into.
