Match Report

Tottenham-bound Edgar Davids was in the stands to watch his future team-mates beat Reading with a goal each from strikers Mido and Jermain Defoe.

Egyptian international Mido opened the scoring on five minutes with a clinical finish from Wayne Routledge's pass.

In added time at the end of the first half, Defoe doubled Spurs' lead with a 25-yard volley which deflected off defender Ibrahima Sonko.

Late on, Reading's Bobby Convey hit the post with a curling free-kick.
