Javier Alonso named an unchanged starting XI from the side that beat Ipswich 8-0 the previous weekend. Despite the young Eagles’ early pressure, it was Reading who started brighter, with Charlie Walker-Smith producing an excellent recovery tackle to deny Rabbi Ntege. As Palace made a number of changes to secure the result, Reading applied late pressure, forcing goalkeeper Harry Whitworth into a string of excellent saves. The result means Palace sit second in the table on 12 points, one behind leaders Arsenal. Take a look at the best of our photographers' images, captured throughout the clash, in our gallery below.
