Report based on details posted to a Crystal Palace messageboard: Reading played better than their opponents for the whole game, and only failed to score in the first half due to poor finishing. In the second, the floodgates opened - the first goal was a defensive error, the second from good wingplay. Then a 25-yard Darren Caskey free-kick special made it three before the keeper gifted us a fourth.
