The Championship leaders Blackburn lost for the first time this season after a 3-0 defeat at Reading.
Blackburn had won their opening three matches but were no match for Reading in a one-sided contest. Tom McIntyre opened the scoring with a header in the 13th minute and Junior Hoilett doubled the hosts’ lead from an acute angle. Lucas João completed the victory, with 12 minutes remaining, after firing home from Tyrese Fornah’s cross.
