The snow fell, and unfortunately so did Newcastle United, as they went down to a 2-1 home defeat against Reading on Saturday.

Yohan Cabaye struck the hosts into a well-deserved first-half lead at St. James' Park, when he curled a 20-yard free-kick into the top corner at the Gallowgate End.

But Reading hit back after the break with a double from substitute Adam Le Fondre, which bagged the visitors their first away win of the season.
