West Bromwich Albion continued to re-establish their momentum as they extended their lead at the top of the Championship to six points with a resolute 2-1 win over Reading. It took a recovery from an early Reading penalty, converted by George Puscas, with Matheus Pereira drawing the visiting side level before Kyle Bartley’s header won it.
“This is a difficult league,” said the victorious manager, Slaven Bilic. “You have to be good tactically, you have to be good technically, you have to be good individually. You have to be strong, you have to manage the games. We were that.”
