The team increased the lead to 2-0 after almost half an hour’s play as Jacob Brown scored.
Reading reduced the score to 2-1 right after this as John Swift scored.
With 30 minutes on the clock, Reading’s Liam Moor scored and equalised.
With five minutes left to play, Stoke City’s Sam Surridge scored the decider as he scored. The 3-2 goal was the last one of the game.
