Michael Rose then put Coventry ahead from a corner, only for Andy Yiadom to level through the same method on the 55th minute.

Paul Ince whisked in delicious cross from the corner kick and Yiadom nodded the ball into the bottom right corner to make it 2-2.

Two minutes later, Ian Maatsen grabbed what proved to be the Coventry winner.

This is the first time Yiadom has scored for Reading this season, having 24 matches in the English Championship.

Yiadom's Ghanaian compatriot, Baba Rahman, also played the entire duration of the game for Reading.

Reading have not won in their last 11 games and are 21st on the League standings with 22 points after 30 games.
