Chelsea had to come from behind to record their second successive victory in the Barclays Premier League 2012/13.
Much like newly promoted Southampton had given Manchester City a scare on Sunday by taking a 2-1 lead after falling behind, Reading, who came up as champions of the Championship,recovered from an early Frank Lampard penalty to go into the break ahead.
But goals from from Gary Cahill, Fernando Torres and Branislav Ivanovic meant that the Stamford Bridge faithful went home happy.
