Vital Statistics: Reading

Swansea City could not have wished for a better start to 2019 as they racked up their biggest win of the season by beating Reading 4-1.

Here, we take a look at the vital statistics from a memorable day at the Madejski Stadium.

9 - The only blot on Swansea's copybook was the late goal substitute Callum Harriott scored for the Royals, it denied the visitors a first clean sheet in nine games.

10 - Oli McBurnie's brace in Berkshire took the Scotland international's goal tally to 10 for the season. He is the first Swans player into double figures in 2018-19. This was also Swansea's 10th win of the season.

11 - The Swans are now unbeaten in 11 games against Reading dating back to 2008. They have won seven and drawn four along the way.

36 - Victory moves the Swans up to 36 points for the season, taking them past the 33 they registered over the entirety of last season.

42 - The visitors had just a 42 per cent share of the ball at the Madejski Stadium, scoring from four of their five shots on target. The last time they had such a small share of possession was at Brentford, where they secured their previous away win with 37 per cent.
