Baines delivers from the left after a well-worked move. Gorkss does well to hook it away as he dives backwards, although he and Federici almost collide - it was a great ball - and Jelavic chests down on the penalty spot before volleying at goal... Sean Morrison blocks it with his hand! Again Everton denied a certain penalty!
38'
Roberts with a dig at goal for Reading, but it is well over.

Baines dinks in a ball, poor really as it is straight to the head of Gorkss, but the defender's header is weak and to Naismith. The Latvian then looks to spring the offside trap but plays Osman onside - and the England international fires over from inside the box! Should have been number two for Everton, but Federici in fact got a hand to it. Great save.

Thomas Hitzlsperger with one of those trademark strikes from distance, parried out by Federici - it was straight at him but swerving. Jelavic unable to get a head on the rebound, but the flag was up against him anyway.
35'
Robson-Kanu with a better cross, defended by Everton. They counter and Jelavic gets clear on the left, looking for the head of Fellaini... just too high.
34'
Robson-Kanu tees up Shorey for a cross, but there is no one anywhere near the ball in.
33'
Fellaini penalised for a high boot.

Everton win a corner from the set-piece. /// @Stevo092: "If Everton score another soon, I can see this turning into a heavy defeat for the royals!!!"

Gorkss with a bad tackle on Coleman as the right-back gets to the ball first to fly down the flank. Again, he tackled with his wrong foot - booking.
30'
Federici slices a clearance into touch. The fans are getting restless - it has not been very good at all from the boys in blue and white hoops.
29'
Wonderful control on the thigh, spin and acceleration from Fellaini. Pienaar takes it on and threads through for Naismith, but he cannot quite get on the end of it.
28'
Roberts to the left and Robson-Kanu, who is looking bright... he goes outside Coleman but his low cross lacks power.

Seamus Coleman annoyed at giving away a throw-in to Robson-Kanu and boots the ball away. Yellow card.
26'
Hal Robson-Kanu attacking the left byline and winning a corner. Excellent play. When the corner is headed out, McAnuff swings a left boot at it - and it dribbles well wide. Snatched at it a tad.
25'
Reading have made their worst start to a top-flight season after 10 matches, four points less than the 10 they picked up at the same stage in 2007-08. Is Reading's defence the worst in the Premier League? Get in touch!

Baines sprints over halfway with the ball on his left flank, but Roberts's cynical foul as he passes by earns him a yellow card. Naughty.
23'
Reading causing problems in the Everton box from the corner but Howard claims and clears.
23'
Gunter with a throw to the feet of Roberts - there is no other movement from Reading, who are lacking confidence - and he wins a free-kick off Baines.

Reading back off from Pienaar after Gunter dallies on the ball to allow Jelavic to pick his pocket. He enters the box on the left and fires at goal with his right foot - just wide of the near post. Wrong foot. And shocking defending again from Reading.
20'
Gunter forward towards Jason Roberts. Everton get it away but Reading crank up the pressure.
19'
Jagielka with a solid header in defence for Evrton with Le Fondre lurking.
