Reading striker Shane Long is hopeful of adding quickly to his first league goal of the season in the 1-0 victory at home to Barnsley.

The 23-year-old Irishman's only previous strike this season came in the FA Cup win at Liverpool and Long now wants to make up for lost time.

He told the Reading Chronicle: "I scored at Liverpool in the cup but it was great to get my first league goal.

"It's been a bit of a tough season for me with injuries and stuff, but there are still 19 games left and hopefully there are plenty more goals to come.

"I was happy with how I played and it's nice to be back to full fitness again and feeling fresh. Hopefully I can kick on from here."
