Half-Time Report: Adam Le Fondre scores hat-trick as Reading go into break 4-0 ahead

Adam Le Fondre scores a first-half hat-trick as Reading cruise into a 4-0 lead over Bolton Wanderers at half time.

Adam Le Fondre has netted a first-half hat-trick as Reading lead Bolton Wanderers 4-0 at the break at the Madjeski Stadium.

Le Fondre put his side ahead in the 12th minute when he reacted quickest to slam home Gareth McCleary's cross at the near post to net his first goal in six games.

Bolton almost replied immediately, as David Ngog took advantage of a defensive slip, but Alex McCarthy stood tall and thwarted the Frenchman.

Pavel Pogrebnyak then flicked a long ball into the path of Le Fondre, who kept his composure to double both his and Reading's tally in the 28th minute.

Five minutes later, the hat-trick was complete.

McCleary pounced on a defensive mistake and advanced towards goal before unselfishly squaring the ball to Le Fondre, who could not miss from six yards.

Four minutes before half time, Pogrebnyak put Reading 4-0 up from the spot after a handball offence in the box.
