(Reuters) - English Championship promotion hopefuls Huddersfield Town were trounced 4-0 at relegation-threatened Bristol City, while Reading moved to fourth place with a 2-0 victory at fellow playoff contenders Sheffield Wednesday on Friday. Huddersfield remain third on 71 points, six adrift of leaders Newcastle United and second-placed Brighton & Hove Albion, who both play on Saturday, while Reading have 67. Hogg, who was conscious and talking in the dressing room, was taken to hospital for precautionary scans. Reading took the lead at Wednesday after 13 minutes through Yann Kermorgant but had keeper Ali Al Habsi to thank for several key saves, including keeping out Jordan Rhodes and Will Buckley. Reading are five points clear of sixth-placed Wednesday, who occupy the final playoff spot, and a point above Leeds United who next host Brighton while Newcastle visit Birmingham City.
