Danny Ings made a sensational start to life with Wycombe with a 90th-minute equaliser as Reading were denied victory in a 2-2 draw.

Former England striker Ings, who signed on Friday, stepped off the bench in the 72nd minute and sent the home fans wild as he scored after being set up by Fred Onyedinma.

That robbed Reading of their first away league win of the season after they had led twice through Paudie O’Connor and substitute Jacob Brown.

The visitors dominated the first half, when Wycombe’s debut keeper Joe Wildsmith made crucial saves from Paddy Lane and Jack Marriott.

Reading deservedly took the lead two minutes after half-time when Wycombe made a mess of clearing Paddy Lane’s corner from the right and centre-back O’Connor headed home.

Wanderers levelled just after the hour. Ewan Henderson’s left-wing cross found striker Jayden Wareham, who headed in from close range.

Reading then seized back the lead 10 minutes from time when Lewis Wing unleashed a low shot that Wildsmith spilled, allowing Brown to pounce and score.

However, Wycombe had the final say through Ings’ late strike.
