On this day in 2016, Aston Villa ended a 13-month wait for an away victory by claiming a 2-1 win at Reading in stoppage time.

The Villains dropped into the Championship after picking up just 17 points in the Premier League, ending a 28-year run in the top-flight.

The 1982 European Cup winners spent big in the summer but Roberto Di Matteo departed within weeks and veteran Steve Bruce took charge.

Jaap Stam's Royals were unbeaten at home up to that point in the 2016/17 campaign and dominated the first half with almost three-quarters of the ball, but trailed at the break after Jonathan Kodjia's header.

Yann Kermorgant equalised shortly after the break, reacting quickly to convert after Garath McCleary's penalty was saved.

However, in the dying seconds it was the visitors who claimed victory with a stoppage time penalty after Liam Moore took out Jordan Ayew.

Over 4,000 supporters had travelled down from Birmingham and were still singing into the Berkshire air long past the final whistle.

One of just two home defeats suffered by Reading, a five-match winning streak followed in which just one goal was conceded.

Ultimately, it would be a poor season for the giants as they could only muster a 13th-place finish.

Reading claimed a 3-1 victory at Villa Park in April and finished third, infamously losing the play-off final on penalties to Huddersfield Town.

Fast-forward eight years and Villa are back in the Champions League- beating Bayern Munich last month- while the Royals are floundering in League One after years of financial mismanagement.
