Reading goalkeeper David Button has been named in the EFL League One Team of the Week, that is despite conceding three in a 3-2 defeat to Portsmouth on Saturday.
A season-high crowd of almost 14,500 turned out for the first league meeting with leaders Pompey since 2012.
Charlie Savage and Lewis Wing put the Royals two ahead amid a stop-start first half marred by protests, but Tino Anjorin and Colby Bishop levelled scores before the break.

John Mousinho's men deservedly won the game in the second half to extend their unbeaten run to 26 matches.
Unfortunately, it saw Reading drop to the foot of the third tier for the first time in 24 years, now eight points adrift of safety.
Button, who was kept busy with nine shots on target against him, is Reading's only entry in the Team of the Week.
He also had one shot in stoppage time, skewing wide from inside the box as a corner fell at his feet.
Bishop and Paddy Lane were entrants for Pompey as both sides move further apart in the standings.
