READING FC UNDER 21s closed out the year with victory at the Select Car Leasing Stadium against Wolves.
Playing in their final group game of the Premier League Cup, the Royals ensured that they took all three points against leaders Wolves.
After a goalless opening to the game, Reading struck with just two minutes to go until the break when Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan was once again on the scoresheet when he was on hand to capitalise and apply the finish after the Royals won possession deep inside Wolves half. He showed a cool head to beat a defender before stroking the ball past the goalkeeper.
Noel Hunt’s team quickly added to their lead after the restart when Rashawn Scott finished one-on-one with the keeper.
Hunt made changes which first saw Mamadi Camara replace Scott in the 73rd minute before a double change meant Scott Dann and Femi Azeez were replaced with Claudio Osorio and Sam Paul.
Dann got some more valuable minutes under his belt having featured for the Under 21s last Monday on his road to recovery from an eight month injury.
Reading sealed the points in style in the 88th minute to put some gloss on the scoreline when Kian Leavy scored a spectacular free-kick.
