Fulham and Reading played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in their Play-off semi-final first leg, with Tom Cairney netting the equaliser for the hosts.

Jordan Obita had given the away side the lead, but Cairney pegged them back before Paul McShane was sent off for a studs up challenge on Kevin McDonald with only ten minutes remaining in the tie.

Obita was also stretchered off at the end and may miss tomorrow's game at the Medejski, where Fulham will look to beat Reading in order to book their place in the Play-off final at Wembley on Monday May 29.

Here's what you may have missed from the Cottage on Saturday.

Fulham's new training tops

Everyone loves a new kit, and Fulham were sporting some new gear on the weekend which you may have missed if you were busy trying to keep the nerves at bay before kick off.

The club released their new training tops for next season and walked out for their Play-off semi final with them on and I must say, they looked very smart.

The top half is black, the bottom is white and it looked good enough to sport pre-game at Anfield, Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford - now it's just up to the team to get there.

Shahid Khan was in attendance

Fulham owner Shahid Khan

The Fulham owner, who had watched the side at Motspur in midweek as they were put through their paces ahead of the game, was in attendance on Saturday at the Cottage.

Khan, whose son, Tony is heavily involved in Fulham's recruitment and is now Director of Football Operations at Fulham, watched from the Director's Box as Jaap Stam did a job on Slavisa Jokanovic's side, suffocating their play and not allowing them to use the wings as they would've liked.

It remains to be seen whether he will be at the Mad Stad tomorrow, but he will still be extremely hopeful he'll be the owner of a Premier League club next season after what he saw at the Cottage.

The top of the Johnny Haynes stand joining Reading in time wasting

We all saw how long Reading took to take throw-ins and corners pretty much from the off, it was part of the plan to not allow Fulham to get into any kind of rhythm and it worked for the most part.

It's part and parcel of the game and you would expect it - if Fulham are 2-1 on Tuesday with ten minutes left it would be the exact same the other way round.

What you don't expect, however, is for the roof of the Johnny Haynes stand to join the away team in keeping the clock ticking away without giving the ball back.

That happened when a Reading defender booted the ball into the touch, with Scott Malone looking up waiting for the ball to roll down and drop into his arms.

It took some time, and the left back's frustration was clear when he stood there with his arms outstretched, almost saying to the stand "you can't be serious?!"

Reading won't be able to time waste to the same extent they did on Saturday, but if either team is defending a lead I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

Neeskens Kebano's pull on Paul McShane

Horror challenge: Paul McShane earns himself a red card for a high tackle on Kevin McDonald

Yeah... we didn't see this one either but that was the Reading captain's defence for his horrible challenge on Kevin McDonald late in the game.

Looking at the replays, McShane has his arm on Kebano and vice-versa in the initial tangle, but if there is anywhere near enough pressure to send the Irishman over with his studs up that high over the ball then we may as well stop playing football and go home.

In my books, it's a poor excuse and an even poorer challenge and it could end up costing Reading big time.

Another thing you may not have seen when this happened was how quickly Slavisa Jokanovic was out of his technical area and onto the pitch, it was almost a throwback to his playing days and I'm sure Stuart Attwell may have wet his pants a bit when he saw the Serbian rushing onto the pitch.
