Kevin Doyle's penalty at Craven Cottage earned Reading a 1-0 victory over 10-man Fulham.

Doyle slotted home in the 17th minute after he was brought down in the area, with Ian Pearce given a straight red card for his foul.

And Steve Coppell's men held on for a third Premiership win in a row despite pressure from the hosts and a penalty appeal when Tomasz Radzinski went over in the area.
