Reading manager Veljko Paunovicsaid:
"After conceding the goal it wasn't a good moment in the changing room at half time, but we were capable of lifting the guys and huge credit to the team, I'm so proud of the reaction we had in the second half.
"Scoring one goal that was cancelled because of offside, we showed that we were determined and we showed a character and a spirit all through the game, we always had it but have maybe lost it in the last couple of games.
"I loved that urgency, I loved that anger, that determination and conviction that we can win this game, which we could have with the opportunities we missed after levelling."
