‘Top class from start to finish’- Plenty of Reading fans react to one man’s milestone performance v Barnsley | OneFootball

Championship side Reading extended their good run of league form with a 1-0 victory over Barnsley at the Select Car Leasing Stadium yesterday afternoon.

John Swift’s strike in the 77th minute after a largely frustrating game proved to be enough to secure all three points for the Royals, having been dominated at the start of the second half with Callum Brittain hitting the post.

But in the end, this game summed up the Tykes’ current predicament, failing to capitalise on their momentum and switching off at the back as Swift made the most of a delicious ball from Scott Dann and grabbed his eighth league goal of the 2021/22 campaign.

Not only was the latter crucial in supplying the assist for the 26-year-old’s winning goal, but also remained solid at the back alongside Liam Moore in helping the Berkshire outfit keep consecutive clean sheets in the Championship, after managing to hang on to their slender lead at the Cardiff City Stadium before the international break.

Former Crystal Palace centre-back Dann, who was also a star in that match against Mick McCarthy’s men, only started his first game for the second-tier club yesterday after needing to build up his fitness as he arrived on a free transfer in late August.

We take a look at some of the latest Twitter reaction.
