Lucas Joao headed the hosts in front, with Sky Blues captain Dominic Hyam equalising from close range on the stroke of half-time. Coventry looked the more confident side early on and could have taken the lead when Viktor Gyokeres' low shot across goal was pushed away by Reading keeper Karl Hein. Reading fans protested before the match, while the club put on entertainment to mark their 150th anniversary. The game unravelled for Reading when Hoilett mistimed a tackle on Gyokeres on half-way and was shown a second yellow card. We got three goals away from home, which is difficult to do, and we haven't done that very often."
