Roayls tame the Blues with a 2-2 draw

Adam Le Fondre's goals salvaged his team from a losing 0-2 state to a much comfortable 2-2 draw

You can very well imagine the plight of Chelsea's interim manager Benitez who saw his team winning against Reading 2-0, and then at the ended up with a frustrating 2-2 draw when the final whistle was blown.

"It's difficult to explain how we drew this game," said Benitez.

"We did everything to win the game. For 85 minutes we controlled everything and created enough chances to score four or five goals. It is difficult to take."

Third-placed Chelsea looked set to clinch their fifth successive top-flight away win after goals from Juan Mata and Frank Lampard put them firmly in control.

But the Royals turned the tide of the match into their favour as Royals substitute Adam Le Fondre's goals salvaged his team from a losing 0-2 state to a much comfortable 2-2 draw.

Reading boss Brian McDermott praised Le Fondre's goal scoring instincts after the 26-year-old stepped off the bench for the third successive Premier League match to earn precious points in his side's battle against relegation.

"If you have got Adam Le Fondre at your club you have always got a chance," said McDermott.
