Royals boss Steve Coppell says Kalifa Cisse's superb goal in our win over Bristol City on Saturday had a touch of the Roberto Carlos magic about it.
Cisse lashed home a brilliant strike from outside the box in the second half on Saturday, and as well as travelling at an incredible speed, it also had a real fade on it as it bulleted past hapless keeper Adriano Basso.
Coppell told our online TV station Reading World, "I was sat right behind it and it was a really great strike.
"It was a good move, we shifted the ball around and as soon as it came to him on the edge of the box I said 'yeah, go on, crack on!' because I know he's got a great strike.

"It had that Roberto Carlos swerve on it, right into the top corner. The shape of the strike was very, very pleasing to see - two keepers wouldn't have stopped it!"
"You could say it was all made for him to shoot but the strike and the power made it impossible to save."
Cisse's strike was listed as the Championship's goal of the week according to the Football League's official website.
The Malian now has two for the season, his other coming in the 3-0 win away to Wolves earlier in the campaign.
