QPR 2-0 Reading: Washington Double Seals Victory Over Stam's Side at Loftus Road

Queens Park Rangers hosted Reading on the opening match day of the FL Championship at Loftus Road on Saturday.

Reading boss Jaap Stam provided good minutes for five players that awaited a debut including Vito Mannone, Pelle Clement and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, but it was not enough as QPR won the match 2-0, with Connor Washington bagging a double for Rangers.

The first nine minutes of the game featured a string of corners awarded to the home side. However, chances were denied for the Rangers from what looked like a strong start for Vito Mannone in his competitive debut for Reading.
