Reading vs MK Dons - LIVE

Five minutes to be added on at the end of this entertaining first-half

45+4 mins: Dons chance turns to Reading counter

Leko breaks up the field, slides Norman in but his cut-back is cut-out, and Reading counter. Dons are left to chase as Ehibatioman fires from range but Smith gets a block in

HALF TIME: Reading 1-1 MK Dons

An entertaining half of football, Dons the better of the two sides for sure. But they were pegged back with Reading's first, and only real action of the first-half when Kelvin Ehibatioman fired in after just three minutes.

Alex Gilbey had a couple of chances before equalising six minutes before half-time.

A lot of changes out there, but it's the visitors who look like they've gelled the better.

Two changes at the break for Reading, Azeez and Knibbs coming on and immediately combining at the start of the second-half for Azeez to fire over the crossbar

47 mins: Flag goes up

Reading have started really brightly, and have it in the net again through Ehibatioman but the flag has gone up to deny the home side retaking the lead

48 mins: Hutchinson into the book

A late tackle on Leko earns Sam Hutchinson a yellow card, despite claiming he got a touch on the ball (he got nowhere near it)

51 mins: Reading rejuvenated

The home side look completely different at the start of this second-half, and are keeping the pressure on as Dons are defending well. O'Hora does really well to get a block on Carson's strike from 20-yards or so

53 mins: Leko fires over

Good run from Leko, has Smith overlapping outside him but the forward goes it alone and takes aim from 25 yards, but it sails over Pereira's bar

60 mins: Two more changes for Reading

On come Dom Ballard an Michael Craig, replacing Sam Hutchinson and Caylan Vickers

62 mins: Dons settling

After the early pressure from the home side, Dons have settled into their stride again for the second-half. Reading looking to hit Dons on the counter more than anything, with Norman and Harvie still having the freedom of Berkshire to play with for the visitors

64 mins: GOAL - Reading back in front

As simple as you'd like for Harvey Knibbs, nodding in a free-kick

65 mins: Double change for Dons

On come Max Dean and Conor Grant, replacing Jonathan Leko and Mo Eisa

68 mins: GOAL - Dons caught out again

It is always the threat with passing around in your own box and putting yourself under pressure, and Reading have capitalised. Kelly's ball to Williams put the defender in trouble, and he loses the ball inside six yards, they're queuing up to put it away, and Lewis Wing does just that.

3-1 Reading

75 mins: Azeez fires wide

He has been an inspired substitution, coming on at the break has Femi Azeez, and he should make it 4-1 and game over there but he's fired wide of the post

77 mins: O'Hora heads wide

A fiercely hit free-kick from Payne, O'Hora can't control his glancing header and it goes wide

80 mins: Two players at either ends of their careers

The 39-year-old Dean Lewington and 17-year-old Callum Tripp have come on for Dons, replacing Dawson Devoy and Tommy Smith

85 mins: Gilbey hits the side netting

After giving up the armband to Lewington, Gilbey hasn't shown any signs of slowing down as he cuts in from the left, with no options in front of him so takes aim but finds the side netting

86 mins: Off the line

Should have been 4-1, Ballard given acres in the centre of the penalty area. The substitute lifts it over keeper Kelly and O'Hora chases back to clear it off the line
