Reading went clear at top of the Championship table tonight with a 3-1 win at Southampton.
Adam Le Fondre, who Coventry City boss Andy Thorn wanted to sign, scored twice for the Royals in the second half of a 3-1 win after he had come on for former Sky Blue Jay Tabb.
Jason Roberts had put Reading ahead in the 19th minute before Ricky Lambert equalised.
Reading are now three points clear and are nine points ahead of third placed West Ham United.
