Promising Chelsea forward Piazon strikes as Reading edge Bolton

Lucas Piazon scored his third goal for Reading in their 2-1 Championship triumph over Bolton on Saturday.


The Chelsea forward, who is on a season-long loan with the Royals, opened the scoring at the Madejski Stadium in the 34th minute.

Piazon blocked an attempted clearance by Trotters defender Prince-Desir Gouano before advancing into the area and deftly chipping beyond an on rushing Ben Amos in the 28th minute, making it three goals in 10 appearances for the Berkshire outfit.

Danny Williams rocketed home for Reading six minutes later, giving his side a two-goal advantage, before Liam Feeney converted a late penalty for the visitors.

After the match, Piazon spoke proudly of the win which lifted Reading to seventh on the tier two table where they sit just a point out of the play-off positions.
