Meite to the rescue for Reading while Troost-Ekong’s Watford extend Championship winning run

Ivory Coast forward Yakou Meite scored his third consecutive goal in the Championship to salvage a 1-1 draw for Reading against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

After rescuing a point for the Royals against Nottingham Forest last Saturday, Meite ensured Veljko Paunovic's side avoided another defeat at the Madejski Stadium following Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Birmingham City.

Lyndon Dykes put QPR ahead on the stroke of half-time but the Ivorian forward did not waste them to put Reading on level terms after the restart of the encounter.
