Reading saw off rock-bottom Crwee to set a 31-match unbeaten
record for the second tier of English football. Reading have not
lost a legaue match for their opening day defeat against
Plymouth and even at 2/5 will have had plenty of support from
punters.
Crewe managed to take the lead after 14 minuets but
found themselves 3-1 behind at the break, with Reading edging
the match 4-3 at full time.
Leeds United maintained their position in third place with a 2-0
victory over Queens Park Rangers. Leeds, who had won their last
three fixtures at Elland Road, could be backed at 4/6 and goals
from Richard Cresswell and Paul Butler sealed all three points.
Aki Riihilahti marked his first start for Crystal Palace since
September with the winning goal against Cardiff City. Palace, at
4/5 took the lead after 70 minutes and an equaliser for Cameron
Jerome was disallowed for an earlier foul.
Preston were the only play-off team to slip up, being held to a
goalless draw at Sotke. North End, now unbeaten in 22 matches,
will have disappointed backers at 7/5 after Paul McKenna missed
a penalty with three mniutes remaining.
Luton let an early lead against visitors Hull slip, with the
Tigers winning at large 10/3 odds. Keith Keane gave Mike
Newell's side the lead after eight minutes but Hull fought back
with goals from Stuart Elliott, Daryl Duffy and Jon Parkin to
lead 3-1 at half time. Chris Coyne headed in a second for Luton
with four minutes left to set up a tense finale.
Managerless Leicester edged out of the bottom three with an
unlikely 9/5 win over play-off chasers Wovles. Matty Fryatt's
goal in the 70 minute earned the Foxes their fisrt back-to-back
victory of the season and their first home win in six attempts.
Sheffield Wednesday boosted their battle against the drop with a
win at Millwall. Frank Simek's goal secured a win for the Owls
at 2/1 and sees them four points clear of relegation.
On Sunday, the "Old Farm" derby bteween Norwich and Ipswich
produced an away win at tasty 11/4 odds. On loan Jonatan
Johansson opneed the scoring on his Canaries debut after 33
minutes but Jimmy Juan equalised five minutes after.
The match
ended in controversy as Danny Haynes appeared to use his hand to
bundle in the ball although the goal was officially given as a
Gary Doherty own goal.
