Reading 1-0 Burnley

Reading keep up their promotion push with a 1-0 win at home to Burnley.

Reading have kept up their promotion push with a 1-0 win at home to Burnley.

The visitors could have taken an early lead, but Charlie Austin's header came back off the bar from Josh McQuoid's cross.

Reading made the breakthrough on 11 minutes when Jason Roberts swept in from 12 yards following good work from Jimmy Kebe.

McAnuff tried his chances midway through the half, but he was wayward with his drive.

Ben Mee came to Burnley's rescue at the end of the half when he made two brave blocks from Roberts and Noel Hunt.

The visitors created plenty of chances to grab an equaliser after the break, but they proved toothless in attack.

Austin should have done better two minutes after the interval, but his shot was saved by Adam Federici when he was clear through.

Burnley again hit the woodwork soon after when Jay Rodriguez's header came back off the post.

As the away side stretched for an equaliser, Kebe blasted well over following a Reading counter-attack.

However, it mattered little as Brian McDermott's side held on for their fourth consecutive win.
