A late penalty from skipper Graeme Murty earned Reading three points with a 2-1 win over Coca-Cola Championship rivals QPR, a result which took their season´s total to a record-breaking 106 points.Murty netted a late penalty - his first goal of the season - to give the Royals one point more than Sunderland collected when winning the title in 1999.Murty said: "You dream of days like this. It´s the pinnacle for a footballer to lift a trophy and pick up a medal in front of your home crowd. When I joined Reading from York the Madejski Stadium wasn´t even finished and the only medal I had won was the Pontin´s Northern League reserve section. This is just a million miles away."
