The Blades are hammering at the door of automatic promotion with a fith straight win and 10 games unbeaten. Form that Reading at the moment can only dream of.
Brian Howard scored the only goal in the 2nd half.
Reading are 6 points off 2nd place but with a game in hand. Current form though of just two wins in the last 12 looks set to earn a play off place only for the men from the Madejski.
A tough trip to Blackpool awaits on Monday.
