Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria was in action for Reading on Tuesday.
Reading are into the next round of the Carabao Cup after beating Wycombe Wanderers on penalties last night, having drawn 1-1.
The Royals had lost their first two games of the Championship season, so needed a win over League One side Wycombe to kickstart their campaign.
Alex Samuel put Wycombe in front, threatening to pile more misery on Jose Gomes after a tricky start to the season, but new signing George Puscas drew Reading level.
Reading couldn’t find the winner so had to go all the way to penalties, and young striker Danny Loader sent the Royals through after Rafael had saved from Nick Freeman and Fred Onyedinma.
Reading will now hope to take that momentum into their league form, and they’ve at least been boosted by midfielder Ovie Ejaria’s return.
The Liverpool talent has returned for a second loan spell with Reading, this time staying for the full season having spent the second half of last term at the Madejski Stadium.
Ejaria made his second debut for Reading on Tuesday night, and earned rave reviews, with fans calling him ‘a class above’ after a fine performance.
The 21-year-old was branded ‘superb’ and ‘the best player on the pitch’, and whilst his long-term Liverpool future is unclear, the Reds will be encouraged after seeing Ejaria shine.
