Naby Sarr marked his Reading FC debut with the winning goal as the Royals went top of the Championship with victory at Millwall.
After a long delayed transfer which saw Sarr train four weeks with the team before the move was ratified by the EFL, he marked his first game in style by scoring the only goal of the game.
Sarr was left unmarked at the back post where he put Reading in front after 14 minutes with a diving header.
The Royals went on to record their third victory on the bounce and third consecutive clean sheet to put them top of the table after six matches.
Paul Ince’s men have recovered valiantly since their humbling defeat at Rotherham United having picked up maximum points since that game without conceding.
Reading’s next test comes on Tuesday night at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United in a game that pits the top two of the table against each other.
The Blades are currently one point behind Reading.
