Danny Loader scored the winning penalty for Reading

Reading survived a scare at the hands of Wycombe as the Royals edged through to round two of the Carabao Cup by winning 4-2 on penalties.

Danny Loader's spot-kick clinched the tie for the Championship side at Adams Park after Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael Cabral Barbosa saved from Nick Freeman and Fred Onyedinma.

Alex Samuel had given League One Wanderers the lead on the hour mark after the striker glanced Joshua Parker's corner into the back of the net.

But new Reading signing George Puscas levelled the scores moments later as he slotted in his first goal on his first start since signing from Inter Milan.

The Royals' reward is a trip to League Two high-fliers Plymouth Argyle in the second round.
