Reading 2-4 Palace

An exquisite brace from wonder kid Victor Moses sealed a 4-2 victory in a pulsating tie at the Madjeski Stadium.

Nathanial Clyne opened the scoring with his first senior goal, and what a goal to open your account with. He cut in from the right wing and unleashed a shot from 20 yards that beat the keeper at his near post. Reading hit back with a Sigurdsson header before Moses retook the lead for Palace with an arrowed strike from 30 yards and Darren Ambrose found his shooting boots again with a near carbon copy of Clyne's goal.

Reading came back again after the break converting a penalty conceded by a clumsy Jose Fonte challenge.

After some nervy moments Moses cut inside from the left dropped his shoulder beat two defenders and finished emphatically to seal the win and leave the Eagles just two points of the Play-offs.

It was a sensational performance and just the right tonic for Palace fans who were left deflated after last weeks financial news and the embarrassing defeat at the hands of Doncaster Rovers.
