Liam O’Brien saves three Reading U23 penalties in Checkatrade Trophy shootout

All three of Liam O’Brien’s penalty saves from the Checkatrade Trophy shootout with Reading U23s, including reaction from the Pompey goalkeeper.

The Blues drew 2-2 with the youthful Royals side in normal time, gaining a point in group nine.

But in the subsequent penalty shootout – to determine which side earned an extra bonus point – it was Reading U23s who were victorious, as they triumphed 4-3 from the spot.

O’Brien may have made three successive saves in the shootout, but it still wasn’t enough for the Blues, who sit bottom of the Southern Group A.
