On this day in 2016, Reading rose into the play-offs for the first time that season with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town.

Jaap Stam's first month as Royals manager had seen a mixed start, winning four and losing two of the first eight games.

Sat in the top 10 ahead of the visit of the Terriers, David Wagner's Yorkshire outfit had lost just once and were perched at the summit of the Championship table.

More than 17,000 saw an action-packed game, with Huddersfield down to 10 men within the first half hour as a petulant Rajiv van La Parra was sent off for two quickfire bookings.

Five minutes before the break, Dutch winger Roy Beerens opened the scoring through a deflected effort.

Throwing everything at the game, Michael Hefele and Elias Kachunga missed golden chances to equalise but the hosts stood strong.

It took Reading up to six matches unbeaten, however they would not win for another four games.

Everyone knows how the season panned out, Wembley heartache to Huddersfield Townin the Championship play-off final.

But on this Saturday afternoon in RG2, it was Reading who were the victors.
