Reading 0 : Bolton 2

on the far side had made a correct call.
Kitson's miserable afternoon was ended in the 67th minute when he was replaced by John Oster, with Taylor and Helguson also coming off to give El-Hadji Diouf a run-out on his return from African Nations Cup duty, with Jlloyd Samuel the other replacement.
Shorey saw a free-kick saved by Jaaskelainen and Reading sent on their own returning Senegalese, Ibrahima Sonko, in the hope the centre-back might get on the end of a high ball into the box.
But those are Bolton's speciality and the Trotters held firm to bank three vital points.
