Reading FC are on the brink of League One safety after they earned an away win at Bristol Rovers.
After winning three points on the road, the Royals are now nine above the drop zone.
Sam Smith opened the scoring for the Royals with just eight minutes on the clock.
Reading were rewarded for their dominance before Lewis Wing netted to double their advantage on the stroke of half-time with a spectacular free-kick.
Following the win, a delighted Ruben Selles said: “I think we talked about it after Lincoln, the team are in a good dynamic and performed exactly how we wanted to perform.
“It takes a lot of character to play in the circumstances we are, fighting relegation and playing the way they have been playing.
“Today, especially in the first half, we made the difference and in the second half we expected, with the substitutions, to have a couple of bits but we did a good job today and got the three points.”
Despite being nine points clear of the drop zone, Selles is refusing to get carried away yet.
He continued: “This season for Reading, it’s never done until the final whistle. We talked about getting a lot of points because we never know what might happen.
“Hopefully, nothing more happens now with the process we are living but it’s not done for us.
“Some months ago we started to connect and now you can see how they enjoy the way we play and the boys performing on the pitch. We enjoy that they are behind us every week.”
