Manager Steve Evans is of the opinion that his team should have been awarded two penalties during their League One defeat to Reading. Despite this, the Royals managed to secure only their second away win of the league campaign, benefiting from Vadaine Oliver’s own goal.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the referee’s performance, Evans argued that his team deserved two penalties. He specifically mentioned incidents involving handball and a reckless challenge on Ben Thompson, stating, “We had two clear penalties in the game not given. One for handball and the second for a reckless challenge on Ben Thompson. We looked back on it with the boys, and they are clear.”
Despite the disappointment, Evans highlighted the team’s dominance in the game, except for counter-attacks. He emphasized that, aside from those instances, his team had complete control, creating four significant goal-scoring opportunities.
