Ovie Ejaria scored his second goal in as many games to help Reading take their second win of the Championship season

Managerless Huddersfield Town's miserable start to life back in the Championship went on after two second-half goals guided Reading to victory at the John Smith's Stadium.

In a first meeting between the sides since the 2017 Championship play-off final, Ovie Ejaria put the Royals ahead after being played in by John Swift.

Swift was involved again as the visitors added a second six minutes from time as Michael Morrison headed in from a corner routine.

The Terriers, who sacked Jan Siewert as boss on 16 August, have won just once in 30 games so far in 2019.

Huddersfield, who were playing at home for the first time under caretaker boss Mark Hudson, had the better of a poor first half - but Rajiv van La Parra's tricky build-up play lacked end product.

The Dutchman was taken off in favour of Isaac Mbenza just two minutes before Ejaria's opener but, in all, the hosts offered up just two efforts on target.

It leaves them 23rd in the formative Championship table, with just one point from their five matches so far after a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Jose Manuel Gomes' Reading claimed just a second away league win in their last 22 attempts.

Huddersfield Town caretaker manager Mark Hudson told BBC Radio Leeds:

"You could clearly see that they've taken on board what we've asked of them, but we can't do it for long enough. The game isn't 60 or 70 minutes. It's 90 minutes.

"I can't question the work rate or the endeavour. We squeezed the pitch for 70 minutes, and after that we started to get stretched.

"We created 11 opportunities, and only hit the target twice. That's nowhere good enough. We did create the chances, we just didn't hit the target when he should."

Reading manager Jose Gomes told BBC Radio Berkshire:

"We started the game giving too much of the ball to the opponent, but we defended well; even with their possession, they couldn't create a clear goal situation. We didn't allow it.

"But there is always a risk if you give the ball to the opponent. We should start the game strongly, even when we play away.

"The good thing was the spirit and the organisation we showed. Everybody is learning. We are growing as a team."
