00:00C'est parti !
00:30...significantly depleted by injury but have taken big points on the road this season despite travelling in constraints.
00:37Staying up in recent years has been a close run thing.
00:41Now before kick-off Reading are going to be joined by Burton as the Royals remember those connected to the club who were lost in 2025.
01:00C'est parti !
01:10Wing.
01:11It's a lovely ball and Chirwa's taken it down nicely.
01:16Reading getting bodies forward now.
01:19Chirwa just having to go backwards.
01:22Here's Wing.
01:23In shooting range but slipping it through lovely.
01:27Yerdom across.
01:28And a wonderful touch from the goalkeeper preventing Marriott from getting it and Chirwa over the top.
01:35Well it's the best move from Reading so far.
01:37And it nearly yielded the opening goal from the man who got the opener last time out.
01:43Collins at full stretch and then as Chirwa comes in it's a hurried effort.
01:49As Doyle a hopeful ball for Chirwa.
01:54And Lofthouse does well to scamper away from his man.
01:59Looking to set Beasley away and Beasley's in behind here he's away from O'Connor.
02:04And it's a great stop from Pereira.
02:06Couldn't catch Beasley here.
02:11It's a beautiful ball to set him away.
02:14He got on the blind side of O'Connor.
02:16The angle was tight but that was on target.
02:18That was on target and needed to be dealt with.
02:23It's a nice ball for Doyle.
02:25Fraser now.
02:27Wing.
02:29Ritchie.
02:30Looking to bend this towards Marriott.
02:32Glancing header goalwards.
02:34And it's lethal from Jack Marriott.
02:40He is in red hot form.
02:44And 2026 begins with a bang for Jack Marriott.
02:51It was a wonderful delivery to find him.
02:54And Marriott knew just what to do.
02:57Patient in the build at Reading.
03:02Ritchie here knowing the angle was on.
03:06And he just got away from his man Marriott.
03:10Enough to guide that into the corner.
03:14He asked for the despairing dive of Collins.
03:18And Reading.
03:19Strike first.
03:26Here's Larsson.
03:28Conor tight to him and now Chirwa can take it away.
03:31And here's Marriott away from Hartridge.
03:33It's a great first touch.
03:35And the second nearly producing a second goal.
03:39Brad Collins sound well to deny him.
03:41Jack Marriott is in the mood.
03:43Marriott here just taking it away from the defenders.
03:47Evans sliding to try and get there but that was goal bound but for the touch of Collins.
04:01Here's Marriott.
04:03Doyle on the overlap.
04:05Chirwa in the middle.
04:07Ritchie calling out on the edge.
04:09Chirwa!
04:13And there's the second.
04:16And a first goal in front of the home fans for Daniel Chirwa.
04:21On the mark on Monday.
04:23And doubling the Reading advantage today.
04:29Liam Richardson side are finding ways through Burton.
04:33And at the moment Burton have no reply.
04:37A big moment for him, a player who says he always wanted to play in England.
04:46And he's now got to please the home fans on home soil.
04:51Doyle here waiting for his moment to find the ball across.
04:56And Chirwa just holding his run, making sure he had space to apply the finish.
05:02And once again there was nothing that Collins could do.
05:06As Daniel Chirwa has his third of the campaign.
05:10And Reading second of the afternoon.
05:14Whipped clear towards Marriott.
05:16Good hold up play from the front man as Wing looking to launch it.
05:24Chirwa in behind here, looking for his second of the afternoon.
05:28And it is a telling challenge coming in from Kyren Lofthouse to make sure he didn't do so.
05:34Burton were looking for a flag that never came.
05:37Daniel Chirwa with an opportunity to extend the Reading advantage.
05:42But Lofthouse with a vital challenge.
05:45Well, that is the sort of ball that Lewis Wing loves to deliver.
05:48Clearance off Burns and it's sloppy and it's dropped for Beasley who'll go for goal.
05:59And strike the woodwork.
06:01Jake Beasley inches away from halving the arrears.
06:06The ball came to him as a bit of sloppiness at the back from Reading.
06:10Beasley almost took full advantage.
06:12Pereira was beaten.
06:14The upright wasn't.
06:23Here's Doyle.
06:25Ritchie's made the run, so has Marriott.
06:27Flag stays down.
06:29Great hand as Collins prevents the scoreline getting further lopsided.
06:36Well, Jack Marriott has twice been denied now by Brad Collins since his opening goal.
06:41Doyle dropping it off for O'Connor.
06:47Nice ball into Doyle.
06:49Basham making the run, but Doyle keeping hold of it for now.
06:52Support coming from Chirwa.
06:54Doyle.
06:56To stand it up.
06:58Chirwa!
06:59Another chance to extend the lead, not taken.
07:04Doyle causing a nuisance.
07:07Held back by Yerdan.
07:09It would have been some finish from Chirwa.
07:21Savage.
07:23Erbachemann.
07:25Just dragged wide.
07:30While he was alert to the opportunity as Savage made the intervention.
07:35The angle wasn't necessarily in his favour.
07:42Just fallen for wing.
07:44Now Erbachemann.
07:46Chirwa making the run.
07:48Erbachemann holding onto it for now.
07:50Savage into the middle.
07:51Chirwa!
07:52Oh, deflected wide.
07:56Evans in the way.
07:58Chirwa was looking to put the game to bed for sure.
08:02Savage with the cup back here.
08:06And Evans getting his body in the way.
08:09Breding looked to seal the deal.
08:14Whipped into the middle.
08:16Kamara!
08:17Oh!
08:20Well, that flashed over the top.
08:21It was his birthday yesterday.
08:23That would have been a nice present.
08:2522 years of age.
08:27Would have been too many celebrations on New Year's Eve.
08:30Would have been some celebrations if that had gone in.
08:33Firmly struck, but ultimately just over the top.
08:39Brief moment to make an impact perhaps.
08:41Hartridge with the effort.
08:45Pereira equal to it.
08:50Well, that might have set up an interesting finale.
08:52And he's straightforward in the end for Pereira to deal with.
09:04Well, we've had more than the four additional minutes promised.
09:08And Tom Reeves decides that's enough.
09:11Reading start the new year with three points.
09:15Daniel Chirwa with the second of them.
09:18As they raced into that two goal advantage in the first half.
09:21And for once in the last few weeks,
09:23it didn't look like Reading would surrender that advantage.
09:27Liam Richardson has another win.
09:29Ten points from a possible 12.
09:32Once again, Reading win on New Year's Day.
09:34That's four in a row for Burton.
09:38It is another testing afternoon
09:41in which the same men are being asked to go again and again.
09:45Today, they've come up short.
09:46So full-time, Reading two.
09:50Burton now being nil.
09:51It's
09:54a set.
09:57Well,
09:58for that I'd say right now for a혀.
10:00It's not like цyp.
10:02I never would.
10:04This was the last time to show off the ninguém else.
10:06It's almost no check report.
10:08So full guidance.
10:10items.
10:11Once again in the last few weeks on our world,
10:13we'll be following forward.
10:14But to theAlles Flu Übers zur at least.
