Preston 1 ... Reading 2
SIMON CHURCH and Jimmy Kebe brought Preston down to earth after their flying start to the season as Reading secured a vital win at Deepdale.
Wales striker Church, 20, put Brendan Rodgers’s side on their way with only his second senior goal for the club 11 minutes before half-time.
Preston were jeered off the pitch by their own fans at the interval after Mali winger Kebe doubled the lead in the 43rd minute following more woeful defending.
Preston strikers Neil Mellor and Chris Brown failed to make an impression before substitute Jon Parkin scored an 85th-minute penalty after being fouled by Ivor Ingimarsson.
