Reading riled by referee Wiley

Robbie Keane scored from the spot to condemn Reading FC to a 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane on Sunday afternoon.

The penalty followed a harshly-judged handball incident in the box, with the ball unluckily striking new signing Greg Halford’s arm as it rebounded off Keane’s knee. Technically a penalty, but it was an involuntary action and really should have been waived by referee Alan Wiley.

Spurs climbed to 6th in the Premiership table and UEFA Cup territory. The Royals, disrespectfully described by The Mirror’s Mike Walters as the “M4 riff-raff“, are left looking still for their first win in two months.
