It worked, he missed the penalty. Although I'm not convinced it was a penalty other than in the Jamie Vardy sense of run at them and leave your leg trailing (although that's worked for Vardy for years).
I thought the ref was crap for both teams. A lot of teams, Reading included, unsurprisingly target Barton in the hope that he'll get himself sent off. Hector went through the back of him a few times. He seems to have calmed down but you're still waiting for it to happen at some point.
