Reading impressed in a 1-1 draw versus play-off chasing Lincoln City, ending their run of five straight victories.

Freddie Draper headed the Imps into a second half lead against the run of play, but Tyler Bindon ensured the Royals took a share of the spoils within 10 minutes of falling behind as he powered Lewis Wing's corner home.

Take a look at our ratings below.

Joel Pereira, 6: Was not tested too much by the in-form Imps, with Ben House and Joe Taylor kept very quiet. Got a hand to Draper's goal, but little he could do with the power on the attempt.

Andy Yiadom, 6: Nice to have the captain back for his 200th league appearance for the club. Offers much more in an attacking sense for his side. Still feeling his way back into form following a break due to suspension.

Amadou Mbengue, 6: Recovered well from a tough afternoon in Bolton on Monday, not giving the strikers a sniff. Used his pace expertly to cover the backline and ensure the forwards never got a chance to run through on goal.

Tyler Bindon, 6: Had a calm and assured afternoon but could have done better for Draper's header, slow to get off the ground with the striker. Made amends by equalising 10 minutes later, his first home goal for the club.

Jeriel Dorsett, 6: Struggled for the first 15-20 minutes, giving possession away multiple times for dangerous chances, but grew into the game. Offers less in an attacking sense, but was defensively sound. 

Lewis Wing, 6: A slightly different role to usual, as a sole six, but still controlled the tempo well. Failed to get into range to unleash a trademark Wing long distance strike.

Harvey Knibbs, 6: A typical Knibbs performance, running hard and pressing constantly. Had the occasional sight of goal and on another day perhaps grabs a goal. His eye was slightly off target on this occasion.

Ben Elliott, 6: A game of two halves for the midfielder, who looked slightly lost in the first half but really got hold of the game in the second and looked a different player. Still young and needs minutes but probably his most impressive performance since arriving in the summer.

Paul Mukairu, 5: Excellent at winning possession back, but very wasteful in front of goal when getting in good positions. Wing role still up for grabs if someone wants to take it.

Sam Smith, 5: A tough afternoon for the striker, who never had a chance to add to his tally. Held the ball well when given the chance but had two defenders on him constantly.

Femi Azeez, 5: Below his usual self but still a constant threat. Has set high standards this season and fell below them against the Imps.

 

Substitutes

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, 6: Had 20 minutes but did not do a great deal other than win a clever free-kick. No spectacular winner like in recent weeks.

Clinton Mola, 6: Took some time to feel his way into the game, losing possession in the build up to the opening goal, but added more attacking impetus than Dorsett.
