Compared rather unfavourably to Jordan Pickford by Reading fans behind the goal but pulled off a super stop to deny Meite Photo: Mike Egerton
2. George Baldock 7
Penalised for a soft push on Rinomhota for Reading’s equaliser, slotted confidently home by Puscas Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Chris Basham 7
A typical energetic, front-foot performance from United’s No.6. A brilliant searching pass set sub McBurnie free but he couldn’t capitalise Photo: Robin Parker
4. John Egan 7
Captained United in Norwood and Sharp’s absence and almost had a goal when he flicked over a corner from a tight angle Photo: Simon Bellis
