Swansea 0-0 Reading: Swans denied second place as Reading hold on for goalless draw to finish the year in the playoff positions

Swansea missed the chance to move second in the Championship table and two points behind leaders Norwich after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Reading at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea had won their last two games and knew that a win would see them end the year in the automatic promotion spots and with a realistic chance to catch Norwich, who have faltered in the last week with a draw and loss.

But it wasn’t to be as Steve Cooper’s men missed a catalogue of big chances and were kept out heroically by Royals keeper Rafael Cabral, with a string of fine saves.
