READING moved into the Championship play-off places after they beat visiting Millwall 3-2, on Tuesday night.

The home side chalked up their third successive league success, thanks to a late winner from Simon Cox.

The striker had earlier put the Royals ahead with a long-range effort and Nick Blackman doubled their lead from the penalty spot after 15 minutes.

Millwall hit back to level through goals from Ricardo Fuller and Mark Beevers either side of the break.

This Saturday, sixth placed Reading have a trip to Sheffield Wednesday, who are directly below them in the table.
