Pair inviolved in on-field bust up during 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough

Royals captain Paul McShane and midfielder Danny Williams were involved in an ugly altercation during the latter stages of the 2-1 defeat at the Riverside.

The match was evenly poised at 1-1 after Simon Cox had cancelled out Emilio Nsue's opener for Boro.

But the hosts went on to nick a 94th minute winner through Adam Forshaw to go top of the Championship table.

Reading manager Brian McDermott insisted he did not see the bust-up between his two players at the time.

However, he has since reviewed a video of the incident and has disciplined both players.

The clash has been widely condemned by Reading supporters.
