Lewis Wing scored against his former club to hand struggling Reading a vital 2-1 win against Wycombe at Adams Park.
Sam Smith put the visitors ahead in the first half but Killian Phillips equalised almost immediately.
Wing's deflected effort after 41 minutes won the day for the crisis-hit visitors, ending a run of nine League One matches without a victory.
The Royals lost Southampton loanee Dom Ballard to injury after 29 minutes, with the attacker carried off on a stretcher.
Moments later, Reading scored the opener as Smith got a slight touch on Femi Azeez's cross to flick the ball past Max Stryjek.
Wycombe equalised on their next attack. David Wheeler touched the ball back to Phillips, who eluded a Reading defender before curling a fine strike past David Button.
But Reading regained the lead when Wing's shot took a big deflection off defender Ryan Tafazolli.
Wheeler hit the post for Wycombe just after the break but the hosts struggled to create chances thereafter as Reading held on for a first away league win in more than a year.
