Marcelo Bielsa's side were left frustrated in LS11 but finally broke the deadlock on the hour as Hernandez slid past his man following a blocked shot to prod home into the top corner and secure all three points. Here's how we rated the performance...
1. Kiko Casilla
7 - Came up big with a vital last minute save to deny Reading a glorious late chance. One other decent save apart, had little else to do.
2. Luke Ayling
8 - Took no time to adapt, showed his organisational skills, showed composure on the rare occasions he came under any pressure.
3. Ben White
8 - Unruffled in central defence, adapted well to the midfield role. Ran the ball out very well.
4. Liam Cooper
8 - Calm, composed and comfortable for the most part. Couldn't stop Moore running through for the late chance, however.
5. Stuart Dallas
8 - Full of running, in both positions. Kept Reading on the back foot.
6. Kalvin Phillips
7 - Had to launch himself into a number of big tackles, one of which took him out of the game. Had been getting forward well before limping off.
