Reading boss Paul Ince has praised Newcastle United loanee Jeff Hendrick after his 60th equaliser earned the Royals a 1-1 draw against Norwich City on Tuesday. Hendrick scored his first goal in over a year with an unerring half volley beyond Tim Krul on the hour-mark.
Norwich had taken the lead just 10 minutes before when Grant Hanley ghosted in at the back post to fire past Reading goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Norwich missed out on the chance to leapfrog Sheffield United at the Championship summit, while Reading reduced the gap behind the automatic promotion places to just two points.
"We showed bounce back ability, never gave in and thoroughly deserved to get the equaliser from Hendrick, who I thought was outstanding," Ince told Berkshire Live.
