Ghana right-back Andy Yiadom in action for Reading in win over Coventry

Published on: 12 December 2022

Ghana right-back Andy Yiadom featured for Reading in their 1-0 win over Coventry in English Championship on Saturday.

The 31-year-old, who failed to make Ghana's final squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar lasted the entire duration of the game.

In a cagey first half, both goalkeepers were called into action to maintain the 0-0 scoreline.

Reading's Joe Lumley saved well from Callum O'Hare while Coventry's Ben Wilson kept out a fine Yakou Meite header.

Coventry went behind 12 minutes into the second period, when Frenchman Amadou Mbengue was on hand to nod in his first Reading goal.

And City, try as they did, were unable to force a fightback as the hosts held on with relative ease.

Reading went into the World Cup recess in poor form, with only two wins from 10 games, while Coventry had won seven of their nine matches, including their last four without conceding a goal, to move from bottom of the Championship to 11th place.

Yiadom has made 20 league appearances for Reading so far this season.
