Lita on target as Royals crash once again

03 October 2009 17:24
Leroy Lita marked his return to Reading with a fine goal as Middlesbrough won 2-0 to ensure the Royals' long wait for a home Championship win continues. Lita had four years at Reading before joining Gareth Southgate's side in the summer, and after missing a decent chance in the first half he buried the killer second goal after the break. Defender Sean St Ledger had headed Boro ahead in the 12th minute with his second goal since joining on loan from Preston before Lita's strike left Royals manager Brendan Rodgers with a familiar feeling. Reading have now not won at the Madejski Stadium since they beat Wolves in January and have scored just five goals in the following 15 matches in front of their own fans. The defeat leaves the Berkshire outfit in 21st place with just 10 points from their first 11 games while Boro are back up to third following their fourth away win of the season.
