Fans left shocked as Button's blunder helps Cheltenham double their lead
Reading goalkeeper David Button found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons during his team's 2-2 draw against Cheltenham. After the Royals fought back from a two-goal deficit, Button's embarrassing own goal allowed the hosts to double their lead. Fans took to social media to express their disbelief and embarrassment over the incident, calling it one of the most embarrassing goals ever conceded.
Quick response saves Reading's blushes
Despite Button's blunder, Reading managed to salvage a point before halftime. Jeriel Dorsett and Paul Mukairu scored quick-fire stoppage time goals to level the score. However, neither team could find a breakthrough in the second half, leaving Reading in 21st place in League One and three points away from safety.
Button's career highlights and setbacks
David Button, a former England youth international, has had a varied career. He made five Premier League appearances for Brighton and West Brom earlier in his career, showcasing his talent at the highest level. However, the own goal incident adds to Reading's challenges this season, as the team has already been deducted four points for failing to pay wages on time.
