Reading remain bottom of Division 1 after a 4-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, who eased their relegation worries.

Spurs were 3-0 up by the 33rd minute at Stevenage with Ryan Loft, Josh Onomah and Jaden Brown on target, before Shilow Tracey hit the fourth in the 54th minute.

It could have been worse for the visitors but goalkeeper Luke Southwood saved a penalty from Will Miller on the hour.

Reading are level on 18 points with Leicester City and Derby County but have an inferior goal difference and have also played one more match than the Foxes.

The victory took Spurs up to sixth, four points clear of the bottom two.

Reading have a break from Premier League 2 action but take on Middlesbrough in the Premier League Cup at Adams Park next Monday, while Spurs travel to Everton in their next PL2 match at Southport on Monday 10 April.
