Reading FC produced another late fight back as Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan stole the show with a hat-trick to earn victory at Luton Town.
The Royals made a strong start and took the lead in the first half when Ehibhatiomhan finished confidently after a sharp attacking move. However, Luton responded well and drew level before the break, shifting the momentum toward the home side.
Early in the second half, Luton turned the game around. Taking advantage of a defensive lapse, the Hatters grabbed their second goal to go 2–1 ahead and looked on course to take the win.
But Reading refused to give in, and with time running out, Ehibhatiomhan stepped up once again, finding the net to bring the Royals level and set up a tense finale.
Moments later, the forward completed a remarkable hat-trick. Pouncing on another opportunity inside the box, he calmly finished to put Reading back in front and stun the home crowd.
The win keeps Reading strongly in contention for the play-offs. They are currently in 7th place on 54 points, just one point behind 6th placed Huddersfield and with a game in hand.
