Meite on target in Reading’s loss to Sheffield Wednesday

Yakou Meite was on the scoresheet in Reading’s 3-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in an EFL Championship game at Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

The forward, who bagged 12 league goals last season for the Royals, continued from where he stopped with his second-half equaliser before goals from Sam Hutchinson and Lucas Joao ended his side’s hope of sharing the points with the Owls.

Sheffield started the game brightly with Kadeem Harris opening the scoring in the 30th minute after he was set up by Liam Palmer.

Ivory Coast international Meite then levelled proceedings for the home team in the 54th minute with a powerful header.
