The Royals under 18s earned a resounding 5-0 win over Birmingham on Saturday.

After four games without a win, Eamonn Dolan's boys put in a comprehensive performance to win against the Blues.

Jahson Downes got the show on the road, scoring his first under 18s goal with 15 minutes plated.

It was 2-0 at half time, with Nicholas Bignall adding a second.

Then Josh Webb scored a minute after the break to end any hopes City had of getting back into proceedings.

New signing Radoslav Vasilev came on at the break, and marked his debut with a goal on the hour mark.

Another sub Mitchell Bryant completed the scoring with 15 minutes to go.
