Points deduction, Cup exit at Kidderminster and 7-0 thrashing by Fulham sum up struggling Championship club’s problems
A club statement when Reading supporters are desperately seeking greater transparency from the hierarchy would ordinarily be greeted with open arms. Only the seven paragraphs published on Saturday – when some fans were on the motorway back from Middlesbrough – posed more questions than answers. Hours after conceding a 95th-minute goal that condemned Reading to a fourth defeat in five matches, the club confirmed Liam Moore had been stripped of the captaincy and the owner, Dai Yongge, effectively offered the under-pressure manager, Veljko Paunovic, the dreaded vote of confidence.
It capped a miserable week for Reading, who suffered a record-breaking 7-0 home defeat by Fulham last Tuesday, three days after being dumped out of the FA Cup by sixth-tier Kidderminster. Save for Andy Carroll’s equaliser at Boro and his spectacular disallowed goals against Fulham – an overhead kick and a preposterous chest-and-volley from outside the box – the only reason Reading fans have felt compelled to get off their seats recently is to vent their anger. The bad news is Carroll’s contract expired on Saturday.

- Ten-man Sunderland suffer shock loss to Lincoln in League One
Fulham moved back into second place in the Championship and an automatic promotion slot with a thumping 7-0 victory at relegation-threatened Reading.
Marco Silva’s men took a 13th-minute lead through Harry Wilson and stretched it on the brink of half-time with an Aleksandar Mitrovic penalty. Fulham proved rampant in the second period, as Reading collapsed, with further goals from Wilson, Kenny Tete, Neeskens Kebano, Tosin Adarabioyo and Mitrovic again.

Upsets causing pitch invasions, youngsters getting recalled from loan and veterans making amends for mistakes
Cole Palmer capped a man-of-the-match performance with a pearl of a strike in victory at Swindon but he was not the only 19-year-old England youth international to shine. On the opposite flank – and for the opposing team – the on-loan Kaine Kesler Hayden did not look out of place up against Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. Kesler Hayden, who was called up to the England Under-20 squad in September, impressed the Aston Villa manager, Steven Gerrard, so much that on Sunday he recalled the right-wing back. Kesler Hayden bombed forward at every opportunity and in the second half Rodri earned a booking after resorting to shoving the advancing defender to the floor. There was a cheeky nutmeg on João Cancelo but his sweetest moment was surely the sprint and tackle to cleanly snaffle the ball from De Bruyne. Gerrard is keen to bolster his defensive options and, on Friday’s evidence at least, Kesler Hayden looks ready to star. Ben Fisher

- Kidderminster Harriers 2-1 Reading
- Non-league side into fourth round after second-half fightback
Red flares were thrown from the celebrating home end and blue from the despairing away fans, but when Amari Morgan-Smith ran away to celebrate what turned out to be the winning goal in the 82nd minute, everyone associated with Kidderminster Harriers seemed to be personally involved.
Everyone in red piled on: all the outfield players, the substitutes, the goalkeeper Luke Simpson (who ran 70 yards to join in), the coaches, the manager. The bottle-washer and the tea lady were not far behind. It was pandemonium and, as the Reading fans chanted “This is embarrassing” and their coach was shown a yellow card, 14 minutes were added on before the stadium witnessed the kind of pitch invasion to warm neutral hearts and send the man on the PA into palpitations as he tried to restore order. No chance.

Lowest-ranked club in the FA Cup third round will not be live on screen but that has not hit their feeling of excitement
At 3pm on Saturday, Kidderminster, fifth in sixth-tier National League North, will hope to add another dream-come-true tale to the FA Cup story by knocking out Reading, the domestic game’s 41st-ranked side.
“That’s exactly what we want,” says Sam Austin, the Carpetmen’s longest-serving player, who joined in 2016 and will line up as the No 10 in Russell Penn’s 4-2-3-1. The 25-year-old, though, was not always a creative force with a penchant for ‘worldy’ goals such as the 20-yard left-foot volley he blazed in against Manchester United during a pre-season friendly in the summer.
