Sam Baldock scored for Reading on Tuesday night having started for the first time this season.

New Royals boss Mark Bowen made the bold call to put him in from the start against a strong QPR side, and the decision paid dividends with Baldock having an excellent game and even finding the back of the net in the second-half.

This was Reading's second equaliser of the game and meant that the Royals came away from one of the teams better sides in the division with a well deserved point.

This keeps Bowen's unbeaten start to life as Reading manager intact as he looks to push the Royals up the table and away from the drop zone.

Baldock's goal and performance will have done the striker the world of good, and his and George Puscas' partnership could certainly be one to look out for in the next few weeks.
