Championship Wrap: Foxes crowned champions

Needing a victory to seal top spot and end Burnley's slim hopes, Pearson's side finished the job thanks to a moment of magic from Dyer after 62 minutes at the Reebok Stadium.

Dyer cut in from the left flank and unleashed a rising effort across Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan and into the top corner.

Adam Le Fondre took his season tally to 14 goals when he netted from close range following Jordan Obita's ninth-minute cross.

It was 2-0 five minutes later when another Obita delivery from the flanks, this time a free-kick, prompted Middlesbrough's George Friend to steer a flicked header into his own net.

Reading's win lifted them up to sixth and knocks Brighton & Hove Albion outside of the play-off spots, one point behind in seventh.
