Reading draw with fellow strugglers Hull

Published on: 04 December 2021

Tom Holmes (on the floor) produced a brilliant finish to put Reading in front against Hull

Tom Holmes opened his Reading account with a spectacular bicycle kick but it was not enough to secure victory against fellow strugglers Hull.

The Royals defender put his side ahead through an eye-catching strike in first-half injury time - the first goal of his senior career.

But Tigers forward Mallik Wilks levelled 10 minutes after the restart and the home side could not find a winner, although Andy Carroll and Femi Azeez went close.

The point lifts Reading up a place to 20th, five points clear of the bottom three, while Hull remain 19th.
