Match ends, Brentford 1, Reading 0.

Ollie Watkins headed his 11th goal of the season as Brentford secured a narrow win over Reading.
The Bees striker rose highest from a Mathias Jensen cross in the 62nd minute.
He almost grabbed a second just five minutes later, but the Royals' Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael Cabral reacted well to block.
Reading's George Puscas spurned a good chance when he couldn't finish when in on Bees goalkeeper David Raya.
There were early yellow cards for Reading's Andy Yiadom and Brentford's Pontus Jansson in an even opening at Griffin Park.
Watkins was soon into the goalmouth action but was crowded out by defenders, before Kamohelo Mokotjo saw an effort blocked.
Puscas had the clearest chance of the first half after timing his run in behind the Bees defence, but Raya smothered the ball as he attempted to go around him.
The goal came just after the hour mark when Watkins planted a header into the bottom corner.
Reading struggled to create a clear chance for an equaliser but went close in an injury-time goalmouth scramble.
The victory saw Brentford move up to eighth in the Championship and put an end to Reading's four-match unbeaten run.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank:
"Ollie's was a fantastic header. He's a constant threat. His link-up play and his work ethic is crucial.
"We are so pleased he has stepped up and was the main man, the one who decided the game today.
"He's definitely a number nine now, because he's so flexible. Cristiano Ronaldo did quite well in the beginning as a winger. Hopefully Ollie can do something similar.
"This was one of those games where we performed quite well against another opponent in form, with some top players."
Reading manager Mark Bowen on Puscas' chance:
"I was willing him to have a shot and that's his game, usually he likes to get his shot away, but he changed his mind and the ball just ran away from him.
"Maybe a lack of concentration cost us for the goal we conceded. But overall we had a lot of huff and puff, a lot of hard work, but that little bit of quality in the final third was lacking.
"Numerous times we went forward and you are thinking something is going to happen, but the ball wasn't as good as it can be.
"They took their chance. It's small margins in this league."
