Reading v Blackpool - live updates

Key Events

  • LIVE: Reading 3-0 Blackpool
  • Seasiders looking to cut the gap to safety
  • Jerry Yates a doubt, but Gary Madine back from suspension

13 - GOAL READING (1-0)

Tom Ince's strike deflects off Jordan Thorniley, over Chris Maxwell and into the back of the net.

He then refuses to celebrate in front of the away end.

Josh Bowler slips the ball to the onrushing Sonny Carey but he can’t get a shot off at goal.

21 - Enforced change

Yet another injury for the Seasiders. This time it's Shayne Lavery, who's replaced by Ian Poveda.

Josh Bowler, who has looked dangerous early on, embarks on one of his trademark runs before teeing up substitute Ian Poveda, who can’t get the ball out of his feet.

Let off for Pool and James Husband in particular as Yakou Meite's cross goes untouched in the six-yard box after beating his man too easily.

Blackpool allow Yakou Meite far too much time and space to shoot from 25 yards but thankfully he drags his effort well wide.

Chest and over from Andy Carroll at the back stick. Reading have upped it in the last 10 or so.

42 - Another concern

Gary Madine is now receiving treatment. When will it end?

43 - Change of plan

Mick McCarthy had readied a sub (Morgan Rogers), but Madine is now back on.

Four minutes to be added on.
