Highly-rated youngster Tahith Chong came on for his debut in the second period but Reading refused to roll over. Mata calmly converted the spot-kick, sending keeper Anssi Jaakkola the wrong way, before Lukaku doubled the lead just before the half time whistle. But a bright Reading team didn't go into their shells, and had chances to reduce the arrears in the second period. And going, going, going in an energetic display against Reading. Ditto the title with United way off the pace.
