Published: October 28, 2020Reading maintained their unbeaten start to the 2020-2021 Championship season by thrashing Blackburn Rovers 4-2 at Ewood Park on Tuesday night.
The Royals lead the way in the second-tier of English football with 22 points after winning seven games while drawing the other.
France U18 international of Nigerian descent, Michael Olise marked his return to Reading's starting lineup by finding the net in the 15th minute to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.
The 18-year-old playmaker showed great composure when through on goal and fired in low for his second strike of the season.
