Reading manager Jaap Stam said:
"It wasn't easy because you play against a top side who are dropping deep to prevent us having the space to pass the ball through to play.
"If you play against a team who is playing that, you need to be very consistent in what you're doing. You need to play at a very high pace.
"Sometimes in the first half, we didn't do that. We were impatient. Because we wanted to go forward, sometimes you take a lot of risks and you pass the ball too quick.
"We had a lot of possession and we should have created more chances. But at least we got a clean sheet and a point."
