Sunderland striker Martyn Waghorn continues to find the back of the net for Leicester City.
Waghorn increased the pressure on Reading manager Brendan Rodgers as his header secured a 1-0 victory for the Foxes last night.
Reading were on top for the majority of a tense game at the Madejski Stadium but saw forward Simon Church waste a catalogue of chances as Waghorn gave Nigel Pearson's side all three points.
Rodgers insists he remains confident of turning Reading's season around after their latest defeat.
The Royals boss said: "I hope I am given time. I've been given a three-year contract but results aren't great, I understand that.
"But that was a good performance.
"I won't feel sorry for myself. I have 100 per cent belief in my ability and I remain confident that we can turn it round."
