Reading pair Mamadi Camara and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan have both been rewarded for their goals against Millwall on Tuesday with entry into the Team of the Week.
Ehibhatiomhan scored early in each half to put the Royals two up against the Lions, while Charlie Savage and Camara added goals in the final 30 minutes to seal safe passage into round two of the Carabao Cup and a first win for new boss Ruben Selles.

Earning ratings of 8.8 and 8.7 respectively, only Joel Piroe, Jason Knight and Juninho Bacuna earned higher WhoScored ratings.
The win has set up a home tie against Championship Ipswich Town later in the month, who beat Bristol Rovers 2-0 on Wednesday.
“Kelvin is a boy that is growing,” said the manager. “Since the beginning of pre-season he has been adjusting well – his abilities and capacities. Not only his physical presence but the way that he turns his body, his dribbles… he had some really good moments today."
Both featured in the opening league match of the season, a 1-0 defeat to Peterborough United, and will likely be involved against Port Vale on Saturday.
