Brentford moved to the top of the Championship after a late double delivered a win at Reading that extended their unbeaten run to 21 league games.

Reading went ahead midway through the first half from a Lucas João penalty – his 19th goal of the season – but Brentford drew level nine minutes before the break through Josh Dasilva. The visitors spent much of the second half defending but two goals in the last four minutes from Dasilva and their top scorer, Ivan Toney, clinched a victory that moved them above the long-time leaders Norwich.
