Reading had a point to prove against Leeds United at the weekend and made it, winning 1-0 at the Madejski Stadium.

The victory enabled the Royals to climb above their opponents in the Championship table and move into fourth.

One Reading fan had the opportunity to meet Garry Monk after the game, and could not resist the chance to poke fun at the Leeds head coach.

The supporter posed while making a sign gesturing to celebrate Reading’s 1-0 win, outside of Monk’s line of vision.

Immature? Juvenile? Disrespectful? A combination of all three? Probably.

Whether any supporter would dare try this with hardman Reading boss Jaap Stam is another question entirely.

Leeds won the game between the two teams 2-0 earlier in the season, so each set of fans have reason to crow, and have a strong chance of meeting again in the play-offs.

With seven games of the regular season to play each they are both fancied to clinch top six places, and if the season ended today, with the table as it stands, Leeds and Reading would play over two legs in the semi-finals.
