Fulham defender Dan Burn will be suspended when his side visit the Amex next Saturday.

The 6ft 7in centre-back picked up a fifth yellow card of the season in tonight’s 2-1 defeat at Brentford.

That result keeps Fulham just two points clear of the Seagulls after they had seemed set to open a sizeable gap.

Hugo Rodallega gave the Cottagers a 57th-minute lead but Harlee Dean levelled before substitute Jota's shot was deflected in by Burn.

Cardiff's Craig Noone tries to stop Jordan Obita tonight

Reading defender Alex Pearce scored an own goal, conceded a penalty and was sent off - all in the first half - as his side lost 2-1 at Cardiff.

Peter Whittingham's 45th-minute spot kick turned out to be clincher for Russell Slade's men. Michael Hector replied late on but Reading have now lost eight of their last 12 matches.
