Baba Rahman sees yellow, Dele-Bashiru shines as Reading beat Fulham away

The two African players produced another solid display as the Royals returned home with vital points from their trip to Craven Cottage

Abdul Baba Rahman and Tom Dele-Bashiru put up splendid displays as Reading won their second straight match in the EFL Championship after beating Fulham 2-1 on Saturday.


The two players from Ghana and Nigeria retained their starting positions after impressing manager Veljko Paunovic in their last league match which saw them defeat Peterborough United 3-1.

Despite playing away from home, the Royals dominated Fulham from the word go and it was Rahman, who was playing in his favourite left-back position, who initiated the move that led to the team’s first goal courtesy of Ovie Ejara in the 19th minute.
