Derby County 0-4 Reading

Reading score four but still go down after Fulham won at Portsmouth.

Steve Coppell’s future will be in doubt after his Reading side were relegated from the Premier League.

Reading had to do better than the results of Birmingham and Fulham to stay up.

After only 15 minutes, James Harper hit an effort into the top-left corner.

Reading doubled their lead on 60 minutes when Nicky Shorey’s shot from outside the area was too strong for Roy Carroll to keep, it dropped to Lita who knocked it to Dave Kitson to tap in.

Kevin Doyle scored from close range, before Lita added the fourth in the final minute.
