Reading defender makes surprising claim at the nature of Bristol City's victory over the Royals

Reading defender Michael Morrison claims Bristol City ended their 2-1 win over the Royals feeling "very lucky" after just about withstanding a late comeback from Veljko Paunovic's relegation-threatened side.

City recorded their third straight win at Ashton Gate to open up a healthy 17-point buffer on the bottom three, with Reading just two points above 21st-placed Peterborough United, as Antoine Semenyo and Morrison's own goal secured the win on Wednesday night.

However, having largely dominated for much of the game and in a position of relative comfort, a soft penalty conceded by Timm Klose in the 73rd minute as he appeared to clip Tom Ince - which, at the time and even more so on replay, looked generous - gave Reading a foothold back into the game.
