Burrell secures win for Burton in exciting match with Reading

Rumarn Burrell netted a last-minute goal to secure Burton a dramatic 3-2 victory against Reading.

However, Burrell capitalized on Owen Dodgson’s cross to score the winning goal for Albion, bringing them within three points of safety.

Burton took the lead early on through Jack Armer's cross which Burrell converted with a header, marking his third goal in four games.

Reading's Harvey Knibbs forced a good save from Max Crocombe, but Burton extended their lead with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson scoring their second goal.

Despite missing chances to increase their lead, Reading managed to score two quick goals through Craig and Smith to level the game.

Nevertheless, Burton secured the victory with Burrell's late winner, clinching another crucial win.
