Burton Albion 1, Reading 2Reading FC hoisted themselves into the League 1 play-off places thanks to a dramatic victory over Burton Albion on Tuesday evening, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan heading home their late winner at the Pirelli Stadium. Burton Albion had led through George Evans’ strike from distance in the 25th minute, but Doyle replied in kind with an equally spectacular effort eight minutes later. The hosts valiantly kept them quiet until the 88th minute when a Lewis Wing free kick was swept back into the danger area by Finley Burns. Ehibhatiomhan was on hand to head past Brad Collins and snatch a dramatic winner in front of the 400 travelling supporters. Reading next travel to eighth placed Stevenage on Saturday with both teams still very much in the fight for a play-off spot.
