Doyle exceeding hopes at Reading

Reading’s Irish striker Kevin Doyle steered home his 10th goal of the season to set the Championship leaders on their way to a 2-0 victory over Leicester and then said: “That’s my target for the season. Now I will have to set a new one.”

Doyle, who joined Reading from Cork, has played a vital role in a Royals side which stretched their winning league run to 10 successive games and their unbeaten run to 25.
