Wed 18th

Reading - Chelsea

A scrappy first half saw more booking than goals always a let down. Duberry came off and replaced by Bikey who put Reading in front on 29th min. Lampard brought Chelsea level not long into second half, shortly followed by a goal from Drogba assisted from Kalou putting Chelsea ahead. Reading cant be held for not trying but things didn't get any easier as Cisse got his second yellow and off Reading going down to 10 men again, lots of action. Ref Mike Dean a bit trigger happy with the card stonight as he dished out 10 bookings, this always ruins a game.
Attendance : 24,031
Final score
Reading 1 - Chelsea 2
