Routledge keeps 10-man Rangers on promotion path

Reading 0 QPR 1

Rangers played for nearly 50 minutes with 10 men after winger Hogan Ephraim was dismissed for an ugly lunge on Jimmy Kebe at the end of the first half, but struck with eight minutes left to move a step closer to promotion.

Reading had been on the back foot for the opening half-hour but rallied to create the best chances either side of Ephraim’s red card.
