Allardyce: "It is disappointing when you throw it away like that. Whether we deserved to be level - and you would probably have to say we didn't - nevertheless we had got it.

"Reading were nervous and it gave us our best spell of the game but if you are going to give stupid goals away like that then you are not going to deserve anything.

"It was just such a basic error to concede a goal like that at that stage of the game. We didn't deal with the first ball but more importantly didn't deal with the second either and the young lad comes on, runs behind and scores the winner for them."
