Roberto Martinez was, as you would expect, full of praise for his team after the win over Reading

Martinez told BBC Sport: "It was a fantastic game of football and a fantastic win for us.

"For the last six or seven games, apart from at Burnley, we didn't get the rewards we deserved and I'm delighted for the players because we got that today.

"They showed a great responsibility and great maturity to continue with those standards and fighting to get that winning feeling and today we got it from a Reading side are in my eyes a Premiership side.

"To be able to compete with them over 90 minutes and control the game the way we did…makes up for all those performances that we deserved more than a point.

"I think it's a clear example of how much we have developed, how much we learnt from that situation and I am very proud of the players."
