Reading City got back to winning ways on Monday night at Scours Lane after a turbulent few weeks in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division.

City twice came from behind to beat  a Royal Wootton Bassett Town side that had TJ Bohane leading the line 4-3 but went in 1-0 down at half time.

Sal Abubukar scored twice in the second half to give Rob Creech’s side a 2-1 lead before Bassett scored twice themselves, their third from the penalty spot.

Reading City were level again when Austin Best fired in from 40 yards and captain Adam Cashin-Murray won it with an 85th minute strike – their first in four Hellenic League matches.

Speaking after the game to City’s twitter account, Creech said: “Last night we turned our dominant possession in to goals, fantastic all round team performance, we showed a high level of desire and quality in offensive positions.”
