READING extended their recent unbeaten run to three games, as they drew 1-1 at Championship title chasers.

Derby County Jason Shackell gave the hosts the lead after 11 minutes, as he turned in Tom Ince's corner from close range.

Reading had an appeal for a penalty denied after Matej Vydra claimed he was tripped by Shackell, before Danny Williams headed in the equaliser before half-time.

Hal Robson-Kanu came closest to scoring a winner as his shot was turned onto the post.

The Royals are on their travels again at the weekend to MK Dons and then face Huddersfield in the FA Cup third round on Tuesday night at the Madejski Stadium.
