Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Stoke City v Reading from the Britannia Stadium. Kick off 15.00 GMT.

Le Fondre goes down in the box massive screams for a penalty! Nothing given. And that’s full time. Stoke City 2-1 Reading. Thanks for joining us.

Hunt fails to keep it in and that could be that. Less than a minute remaining now.

Oh it’s a waste from Harte as he curls it out for a goal kick. What a waste!

Great work from Kebe on the edge of the box and he wins a free kick from Cameron. Great chance now.

We have four added minutes here so still hope for Reading.

Still work for Stoke to do here. They win a throw and the clock is winding down.

Great cross from Kebe and McCleary almost heads it into the path of Akpan before Stoke clear.

Leigertwood plays it in to Hunt but it has just too much on it.

Meanwhile, Cameron has come on for Kightly for Stoke.

Shot from Whelan and Federici nearly palms it straight into Walters’ path. Pearce is there to smuggle it away!

It’s a little more tense now. We’ve been here before. Stoke have a goal kick.

GOAL Reading! Harte whips it in and it’s Mariappa with a bullet header at the near post. It can’t happen again can it?

And it is a chance for Le Fondre but he just can’t connect with his turn and shot in the box! Reading win a corner.

GOAL Stoke! It’s a lovely turn and shot from Jerome who turns Pearce before rifling it into the far corner. Great finish.

Reading sub: Pogrebnyak off for Hunt

Reading briefly have three on two. Kebe plays in Pogrebnyak but his touch lets him down and the chance is gone.

Nice touch from Jones. Walters crosses it back in and Jones tries to pick out Jerome but Mariappa clears the danger.

Le Fondre races away down the right. He finds Akpan but Jones robs him. Pogrebnyak tumbles in the box but there’s not much in it.

Le Fondre so close to playing in Pogrebnyak but the striker handles. It falls back to Le Fondre and it’s a lovely finish into the top corner but the whistle had already gone.

Le Fondre is nearly in but there’s just a little too much on the knock down. That was nearly his moment again.
