FA Cup review - Tues 1st Mar

Everton were stunned at home by Reading in the FA Cup fifth round at Goodison Park.

Captain Matt Mills struck the only goal as Championship Reading claimed another notable top-flight scalp to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for a second successive year

Last Eight
Mills fired home after 26 minutes of the tie at Everton to put the Royals, who knocked out Liverpool en route to the last eight in 2010, within a match of Wembley.
Jimmy Kebe should have made victory more comfortable but goalkeeper Alex McCarthy also proved a hero with a stunning late save from Leon Osman. Reading will now face either Manchester City or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.
