Reading supporters took to social media to voice their relief and approval of their Carabao Cup over Wycombe Wanderers.
The Royals bagged their first win of the season over their Thames Valley rivals and it was an exciting clash against Gareth Ainsworth's side.
Royals fans were delighted to get off the mark and focused on some of the players' positive performances at Adams Park.
Can we talk about Rafael’s penalty technique? You don’t see goalkeepers doing that often. Really got inside the Wycombe players heads and won us the game. Quite the way to make yourself an instant hero!

Was a good game, I had to sit with the Wycombe fans but the noise from the #readingfc fans was amazing.

Not to go unnoticed the transformation of Baldock from unwanted to featuring and stepping up for and scoring a penalty! #readingfc

Morrison looked good in defence and was strong at corners etc. Overall wasn’t bad but we need to give this team more time. If we are patient I think this could be a special team!! #readingfc
