New Headline: "Shocked Derby Match Between Burton Albion and Reading Unveiled
Ross' grades from a dogged comeback win at Burton Albion on Tuesday night.
Joel Pereira: 7 Involved in an odd incident in the first 10 minutes when he came out to deal with a ball and had to leave his box. Fell on the ball in a way that looked like he touched it with his hand, drawing the ire of the Burton fans but no reaction from the ref.

Got down well to his right to put down a bouncing effort on goal. Went with the correct hand with his dive for the opener and was unlucky to be beaten after getting a long way across his goal. Made an exceptional save just after Reading had gone behind, coming out to the top of his box and forcing the striker to move first with his one-on-one chance.
Followed that by getting down to his right well Andy Yiadom: 6 Started the second half by winning the ball in the Burton box, taking it down with his head before finding Patton for a shot. Made a challenge when he was the last man in the box, taking down his man but taking the ball in the eyes of the referee (but not the eyes of the Burton fans). Really smartly took down a late Burton cross before carrying it out of danger and then feeding it to a dangerous position, bleeding a minute of injury time from the clock.

Paudie O’Connor: 7 Got forward with intent on set plays, and ended the game with more touches in the box than Patton, Keane or Ehibhatiomhan.
