Palace striker Murray hits brace as Reading thump Fulham

Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray struck twice for Reading in their 3-0 win over Fulham.

The result sends Fulham to the bottom of the Championship table.

Murray was denied a hat-trick when substituted by Royals boss Nigel Adkins.

"Strikers always want a third goal but I've got to look at the bigger picture," Adkins said. "He could have stayed on but what if he had broken down?"
