Reading Football Club today became the first team in the Coca-Cola leagues to win promotion.

Rumours were spread that promotion was clinched earlier in the season, but today's draw with Leicester secured The Royals place in the Premiership next season.

3,000 Reading fans made the journey to see a game that ended in spectacular style. However, things were not going well when Iain Hume put the home side ahead after finishing superbly with a curling effort.

Reading knew that the result did not matter on how the league table looked, however just to make sure of the promotion Kevin Doyle equalised with eight minutes to go, thundering a header into the back of the Leicester net.

Steve Hunt then had a chance to win the game with a volley following a flick-on from Dave Kitson, however his effort was parried away by City goalkeeper Paul Henderson to deny all three points.

The battle of The Championship now lies in the hands of Sheffield United, Watford, Leeds and Crystal Palace as any one of them could snatch the final automatic promotion spot.
