Ajani Burchall was not part of the AFC Bournemouth team that missed out on the chance to move into fourth place in the Championship after going down 3 – 1 to fellow high-fliers Reading.
First-half goals from Josh Laurent, Tom McIntyre, and Lucas Joao left Bournemouth with a mountain to climb at the Madejski Stadium.
And although Jason Tindall’s team had the better of the second period, they were unable to repair the damage of the first 45 minutes.
Junior Stanislas came off the bench to net a consolation for the visitors, the frontman beating Reading goalkeeper Rafael with a free-kick from 30 yards six minutes from time.
