Reading's under 18s were edged out 4-3 in a thriller of a game against Portsmouth's Academy.

Perry Ryan opened the scoring for Pompey, and Tero Mantyla doubled the advantage soon afterwards.

Jacob Walcott pulled one back before the break, and we were back on level terms after the restart when Frankie Raymond made it 2-2 with a superb free kick.

Incredibly, Jake Taylor put us 3-2 up, and he could have made it 4-2 from the spot but saw his penalty saved.

Ryan then scored again for the hosts, and Nadir Ciftci completed an incredible match.
