Reading have found a way past Wolverhampton Wanderers' resolute defence to take a 1-0 lead going into half time of their Championship match this afternoon.
The first real chance of the game fell to George Saville, but the Wolves midfielder could not beat Adam Federici and the chance went begging.
Simon Cox then headed wide from Jordan Obita's free kick as the home side recovered from a poor start to the game.
They went in front after Michael Hector saw off the challenge of Richard Stearman to powerfully head home Oliver Norwood's cross in what was only the fourth goal Wolves have conceded this season.
Glenn Murray almost added a spectacular second but unfortunately for the Royals his drive flew wide of the post.
Wolves responded through Leon Clarke, who turned and fired wide following good work from Kevin McDonald.
The striker was offside in any case, but it was an encouraging period for the visitors as they went in behind at the break.
