Reading 0 - Sheffield Wednesday 2: Stuart Gray's revival continues
STUART GRAY’S magic touch as Sheffield Wednesday’s new boss continued as goals from Chris Maguire and Benik Afobe made it 11 games without defeat.
Reading were on the back foot within eight minutes when Alex Pearce got the wrong side of the rampaging Arsenal loanee Afobe.
The defender was red-carded and Maguire fired his spot-kick straight down the middle.
The Owls struck again 13 minutes into the second half after Alex McCarthy fumbled Maguire’s shot and Afobe chipped in. Gray claimed: “Afobe caused them problems with his pace and power.
The boy’s got talent.” Reading boss Nigel Adkins said: “The referee wrongly sent off my centre-half. If it was a penalty, no way it was a red card.”
