MANCHESTER UNITED LOAN WATCH UPDATE
James Wilson scored the only goal of the game as Brighton & Hove Albion beat Reading 1-0 on Tuesday to move into the automatic promotion slots in the Championship.
The striker was recalled to the side by manager Chris Hughton and produced a superb left-foot finish in the first half. "I wanted to play James," said Hughton. "It was a question of who I played alongside him.
"James has been a bit stop-start since joining us, but he has been involved and he's getting used to the level of what the Championship is. It was a good, fast attack that led to the goal and it was James' best all-round 90 minutes for us."
Ashley Fletcher has been in good form for Barnsley and was voted Man of the Match by the club's sponsors in the 2-0 defeat to Southend United. The striker won a penalty after being fouled when rounding Shrimpers keeper Dan Bentley but Conor Hourihane missed from the spot.
