Luca Woodhouse’ strike from the edge of the box secured a late point for the Grecians, continuing the young player’s fine run of form in his first season at City.<\/p>\n
Will Keane cancelled out Pierce Sweeney’s opener right before half-time, altering the momentum of the game with seconds left until the break.<\/p>\n
“Obviously it’s disappointing to concede that close to half-time, we should have managed the game better. But, we showed a good reaction to get the point and that’s the most important thing.”<\/p>\n
A first half of the season that saw the Grecians typically struggling to pick up points away from home, Woodhouse is keen for the team to put on a better show on the road in 2026.<\/p>\n
“We’re all feeling good, feeling confident. We want our away form to pick up, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”<\/p>\n
With 11 minutes of stoppage time added on after the 90, Woodhouse would find himself on the edge of the Reading penalty area in the 93rd minute before letting fly a fine strike to level the game up late on.<\/p>\n
“I found myself high up the pitch, I was thinking – what am I doing here!?”<\/p>\n
“The ball dropped to me from a cross, and then I hit it and yeah, went in the back of the net and I was buzzing!”<\/p>\n
