On this day in 2008, Reading picked up their final home win of an ultimately heart-breaking relegation campaign.
An Andre Bikey brace, with a goal coming in each half, in a 2-1 win over Birmingham City was a third win in four games and lifted the Royals to 15th in the top-flight.
Future West Ham forward Mauro Zarate netted his first goal in English football to temporarily pull the Blues level, but the centre-back powered home another goal with 10 minutes remaining to seal a big win for Steve Coppell's side.
However, a total of two points from the remaining 18 droppedd the Royals into the scrap, and even a 4-0 final day win over Derby County was not enough to salvage Premier League status as relegation was confirmed.
Birmingham would go down too, along with Reading and Derby, but Alex McCleish got the last laugh as a final day win at the Madejski Stadium ensured it was the Second City side making an immediate return to the Premier League- at Reading's expense.
