Reading ended their seven-game Championship losing run with a point from a goalless draw at relegation rivals Peterborough United.

Both sides had chances, with Karl Hein denying Posh's Jonson Clarke-Harris, Nathan Thompson and Reece Brown.

At the other end, Steven Benda produced fine saves to keep out a Tom Ince free-kick and Yakou Meite's drive.

John Swift also headed straight at Benda, while Posh's Joe Ward had a late effort cleared off the line.

Reading stay fourth from bottom of the table, one place and two points above Peterborough who have a game in hand.
