TOP Ipswich Town 0-3 Reading

Reading deservedly assumed the leadership of the Championship on Tuesday night with a magnificently easy win at Portman Road, never usually a happy hunting ground for us. SIDWELL gaves Reading a half time lead as the visitors dominated the opening 45 minutes, thumping home a rebound after Doyle's shot was blocked. After a short period of Ipswich pressure, the home side were killed off by an instinctive first time shot by LITA set up by Doyle, and the favour was returned near the close after Lita helped Sonko's flick-on into the path of the Irishman following a corner, giving DOYLE a simpletap-in for his sixth goal for Reading.

Reading: Hahnemann, Murty, Shorey, Ingimarsson, Sonko, Little (Oster, 78), Sidwell, Harper, Convey (Hunt, 78), Doyle, Lita. Subs not used: Stack, Makin, Obinna.
