Curbs fuming as Royals’ six-shooters lash Hammers

Reading 6 West Ham 0

Reading overwhelmed Curbishley’s men at the Madejski Stadium, with Kevin Doyle scoring twice and Brynjar Gunnarsson, Stephen Hunt and Leroy Lita also netting in a 6-0 win.

Anton Ferdinand scored an own goal to highlight West Ham’s defensive inadequacies, while Reading showed the characteristics Curbishley wanted to see in his own players.
