Derby held by Reading

Derby County lost ground on Championship leaders Middlesbrough as they drew with Reading.

Jason Shackell gave the hosts the lead as he lost his marker to turn in Tom Ince's corner from close range.

Reading had an appeal for a penalty denied after Matej Vydra claimed he was tripped by Shackell, before Danny Williams headed in the equaliser.

Hal Robson-Kanu had a shot turned onto the post as the Royals pushed for a winner, but Derby held on for a point.

The Rams are now six points behind Boro at the top of the table having played one game more, with the Teessiders winning at Brentford.

Vydra volleyed over from Garath McCleary's ball shortly after kick-off, and Shackell punished Brian McDermott's side for their inability to turn early possession into a goal when he fired high past Ali Al-Habsi.

The trailing Royals continued to push forward, and they were eventually rewarded as Williams headed in from Robson-Kanu's floated cross.

McCleary forced Lee Grant into a sharp save early in the second half with a powerful shot, while Al-Habsi denied Nick Blackman his first Rams goal.

Camp was called into action again to push Robson-Kanu's fiercely hit effort on to the post, while Vydra and Reading team-mate Oliver Norwood both missed the target with late free-kicks.
