sport news Tom Ince's 20-yard strike sealed Reading's 2-1 win over Cardiff: a round-up of ... trends now
Tom Ince's 'wonder goal' was the decider for Reading in their 2-1 home win over Cardiff.
Callum O'Dowda's early header from a free kick put the visitors in front after just four minutes.
But it was another set piece which drew Reading level, Shane Long's penalty coming just before the half-hour mark. It was the 35-year-old's first goal for the club in 11 years after re-signing for the Berkshire side in the summer.
Ince's 63rd-minute winner was a 20-yard drive, and drew plaudits from his manager - and dad - Paul.

'It really was a wonder goal from Tom,' Ince senior said. 'He's just got that bit of quality and it was fully deserved.'
Paul Ince added his son, with his Premier League experience, was 'an example to everyone', regardless of the family ties.
After winning their opening game against Norwich, Cardiff manager Steve Morison was less than impressed with the Reading performance.
'I'm disappointed, we didn't really show up,' Morison whined. 'You drop your level and you lose games of football'.
Norwich themselves relied on a second-half goal from right-back Max Aarons to secure a 1-1 draw home to Wigan Athletic.
James McClean had put the visitors in front just before the 30 minute mark at Carrow Road.
But 22-year-old Aarons secured a point for the Canaries with a low shot which was too powerful for Wigan goalie Ben Amos.
Norwich also felt like they were denied two late penalty shouts, but Wigan held on for a share of the points.
