Coppell delighted with big win

Reading boss Steve Coppell hailed the last minute winner that James Harper gave the Royals against Middlesbrough, labelling the victory as a 'massive, massive win'.

Coppell said: "It was a great result for us. Having not won away from home all season we had to approach the game in a certain manner and our game-plan went reasonably well.

"We were mindful of the 120 minutes Middlesbrough had played in midweek and we knew it was going to be factor in the last 10 to 15 minutes and that proved to be the case.

''A clean sheet would have been significant and to get all three points was a massive, massive boost. Psychologically I hope it is is going to have a real long-term effect.''
