Spanish striker Borja has scored six goals for Swansea City so far this season

Swansea City missed out on a return to the top of the Championship table as Reading scored in the last minute to draw 1-1 at the Liberty Stadium.

Borja put Steve Cooper's team ahead after just three minutes.

But Swansea's failure to extend their lead cost them dear when Andy Yiadom fired home the equaliser in the last minute.

The goal meant Jose Gomes' team avoided a fourth straight league defeat - and left Swansea frustrated.

Swansea's 1-0 loss in their last home game, against Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago, was a first league reverse on their patch since Aston Villa won in south Wales on Boxing Day 2018.

Forest were also the first visiting since side Villa to stop Swansea scoring at the Liberty - but Reading's attempts to follow suit did not last long.

Connor Roberts played the ball down the line for Andre Ayew, who delivered the perfect centre for Borja to glance home a header.

Swansea were looking good going forward, with George Byers firing just wide in the early stages, although Reading carried a threat too as George Puscas scooping over from close range.

Lucas Joao, an early substitute for the injured Tyler Blackett, forced Freddie Woodman into a routine save before Reading keeper Rafael Cabral made a much sharper stop to deny Ayew.

Reading were lucky not to lose a man just before half-time when Lucas Boye, who had already been booked for chopping down Roberts, escaped with a ticking-off after a blatant pull-back on Matt Grimes as the Swansea skipper attempted a counter.

In need of a response, the Royals pressed higher up the field at the start of the second period and Swansea were knocked out of their stride for a spell.

Yet it was the home side who created the clearer chances, with Roberts' shot deflecting over George Byers seeing two efforts blocked.

Reading did threaten when Ovie Ejaria broke through on the left, but his shot was saved at the near post.

Substitute Sam Surridge then pulled an effort wide at the other end, and Reading took advantage in the 90th minute as good work from the impressive Joao teed up Yiadom and he drove the ball beyond a helpless Woodman.

Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper told BBC Sport Wales: "It's a frustrated dressing room after conceding a goal so late on.

"To be fair to Reading they did play some good stuff in the second half, but we did manage to keep them away from the goal in terms of shooting position so to concede late on is disappointing.

"I think we're also disappointed after a good start, not just by getting the goal but within our play, that we didn't capitalise on it.

"I did think we created some good chances to go 2-0 or possibly 3-0 up and that's equally as frustrating as conceding late on."

Reading manager Jose Gomes: "I am happy because from the bench I could watch my team playing good, positive football.

"I am happy with my players today, but I think the way we controlled and kept the ball in the offensive half during the second half, we should even score more goals.

"It would be really unfair to go back to Reading without any points.

"If we play that game you don't know the name of the two teams, you could not say Swansea has 10 points more than Reading."
