Post-match reaction

"The first half was probably our best 45 minutes this season, but to come in having conceded in the last minute of the half allowed them back in... people say we only play one up front but today proved that it's really three and no-one deserves a hat-trick more than Benji." Portsmouth coach Joe Jordan

"It's difficult to analyse a match like that and if you try you will be there a very long time ...we scored four goals away from home and had a chance for another with a penalty. We played a full part in the game - I don't think many teams will come here this season and score four." Reading manager Steve Coppell
