On loan Watford striker Matej Vydra made an ideal start to life at Reading as the Royals thumped Ipswich Town 5-1.

The Czech Republic international will spend the campaign on loan at the Madejski Stadium after leaving the Hornets on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day.

Vydra was handed his debut against the Tractor Boys on Friday night and played 77 minutes before being replaced by Chelsea loanee Lucas Piazon.

While the 23-year-old didn't find the net, he played a role in two of Reading’s goals as Steve Clarke’s side cruised to victory.

Vydra’s good friend Daniel Pudil is spending the campaign on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and the left-back made his debut on Saturday as the Owls were beaten 3-1 by Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

While it wasn’t the perfect start for the Czech Republic international, he did produce an excellent cross which enabled Atdhe Nuhiu to head home Wednesday’s consolation goal.

Former Hornet Fernando Forestieri also made his debut for the Owls during the defeat.

Centre-back Gabriele Angella’s Queens Park Rangers debut lasted just 31 minutes. The Italian, who’ll spend the season at Loftus Road, suffered a head injury early into the Hoops’ 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest and was eventually brought off just after the half hour mark.

Ex-Watford midfielder Daniel Tozser also made his Rangers debut in the defeat after joining the club on a free transfer two weeks ago.

Diego Fabbrini started for Middlesbrough as Aitor Karanka’s side defeated MK Dons 2-0. The Italian international played 84 minutes before being replaced by Adam Forshaw.

Powerful striker Uche Ikpeazu netted an 89th minute winner for Port Vale against Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

The game was level in the closing minutes but a cross into the Latics’ area caused panic and Ikpeazu, at the second time of asking, was able to convert from close range to seal victory for the Valiants.

Sean Murray was not included in the Wigan squad for the contest.

Midfielder Connor Smith played 90 minutes for Stevenage in their 2-2 draw against York City on Saturday.

Further afield, Miguel Layun made his debut for Porto on Saturday and played the full game as the Dragons defeated FC Arouca 3-1.

The Mexican wing-back started at left-back and was booked in the 21st minute. However, it was a winning start to life in Portugal for the likeable 27-year-old.

And defender Juanfran, who has yet to spend a day at Watford despite joining the club over a year ago, is likely to feature for Deportivo La Coruna tonight as they take on Rayo Vallecano in La Liga action.
