Reading 1-3 Arsenal

Reading suffered defeat at hands of Arsenal last night which saw the Gunners reclaim top spot in the Premier League. The Royals held firm for most of the first half which saw Arsenal playing an amazing passing game to frustrate most of the home fans.

Goals from Flamini, Adebayor and Hleb won the game for the visitors. Nicky Shorey's goal was a mere consolation three minutes from time.

Didnt Coppell say he had 3 different ways to play against Arsenal?

Maybe next time he should try one of them! LOL

I think Reading should have played with a bit more heart and belief. Better teams than them have been undone by the magnificient Arsenal, but they owed it to their fans to at least put up a great fight. Playing at home with supporters behind you should spur you on. Coppell's tactics were probably on paper alone and the implementation was oh so poor
