Reading 1-0 Middlesbrough

Simon Cox scores the only goal. Enrique Kike misses chances at the end of either half as Middlesbrough enjoyed complete domination. Adkins:

We had 16 players unavailable going into the game so it’s a great result. It was a super goal from Simon Cox.That gave us something to hold on to and [Adam] Federici has not really had many saves to make.The young side we have got have come away from home against an excellent side and got a great result. We had seven academy players on the field to finish off.
