- 0' KICK OFF: AFC Bournemouth gets underway.
- 5' AFC Bournemouth are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Reading FC's shape.
- 8' What a moment for Dominic Solanke! That strike on 8 puts his side firmly in control.
- 13' Ryan Christie has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 39 cards already picked up this season.
- 18' The energy levels are beginning to show. Scott Parker might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 23' Reading FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

- 90' AFC Bournemouth receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
