READING bounced back to winning ways in the Championship, with a 4-1 victory over Doncaster at the Madejski Stadium.

Danny Guthrie opened the scoring for the Royals after 11 minutes, which was his third goal in four games.

Doncaster sub Theo Robinson levelled as he turned the ball in, after Mark Duffy’s free-kick had been saved by Adam Federici.

Reading re-took the lead before the break, as Adam Le Fondre flicked in Garath McCleary’s pass.

As the game came to a close the visitors were reduced to 10 men, after Doncaster captain Rob Jones was injured and they had used all their substitutes.

The Royals took advantage of this and McCleary scored after good work by Hal Robson-Kanu, before Pavel Pogrebnyak netted a fourth in the seventh minute of injury time.

Reading manager Nigel Adkins said: “Four goals, three points and the fans have gone home happy.”

Next up for the Royals is another home game against lowly Millwall at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.
