Ghana defender Andy Yiadom features as Reading beat Swansea City

Published on: 28 December 2022

Ghana right-back Andy Yiadom was in action for Reading in their 2-1 hard fought win over Swansea City in the English Championship.

Yiadom lasted the entire duration of the game as he helped his side secure a vital victory as the Royals moved level on points with the Championship play-off places.

Andy Carroll put the Royals ahead in a first half in which they also missed a penalty as Yakou Meite blasted way over.

The Swans played themselves into trouble after the break, with goalkeeper Steven Benda's misplaced pass falling to Tom Ince, whose deflected shot doubled Reading's lead.

Substitute Liam Cullen scored on the rebound to raise hopes of yet another Swansea comeback but the visitors' late attempts to salvage a point were in vain.

The win lifts Reading to eighth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Norwich City and short of the top six on goal difference alone.

Yiadom, who was not named in Ghana's final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup has made 22 league appearances and registered one assist for Reading this season.
