Town progressed to the third round of the Carabao Cup for the first time in eight years following a 3-1 on-penalties victory over Reading after a 2-2 draw at the Madejski Stadium. Brandon Williams scored a second-minute full-debut own goal to give the Royals an early lead but Cameron Humphreys equalised in first-half injury time, the Freddie Ladapo put the Blues in front on 59 before Ehibhatiomhan levelled three minutes from time but his teammates missed three of their penalties to see Town through.
It’s not the most glamorous draw but Reading in the second round of the Carabao Cup represents a really good chance to progress through to round three.
