Doyle's on Royals boil
KEVIN Doyle netted his ninth goal of the season to maintain Reading’s 100 per cent home record.
Republic of Ireland striker Doyle cannot stop scoring at the Madejski Stadium, and that was just as well for Steve Coppell’s side on this occasion.
Doncaster may be at the wrong end of the Championship table but looked nothing like a side doomed to a swift return to League One.

Andre Bikey headed Reading ahead against the run of play in the 18th minute and Rovers were denied a penalty after the break. Debutant Jos van Nieuwstadt headed home a deserved equaliser in the 74th minute but Doyle had the final say with the winner two minutes later, heading home a free-kick from substitute James Harper.
Coppell said: “We made it difficult for ourselves although their goal came from a free-kick that wasn’t.”
