Brighton 1-3 Reading

Leroy Lita is back and bang on form after a hat-trick in today's friendly at Brighton & Hove Albion helped Reading to a 3-1 win. Michael Duberry's own goal had put the Seagulls ahead, but a penalty and two predator's finishes gave Reading another pre-season win.

Bobby Convey played 45 minutes as he stepped up his comeback from injury, and he looked comfortable and in good shape. There was more than a hint of offside in the build-up to Brighton's goal, but Lita's efforts ensured Reading took victory.
