Royals go the extra to dump out Baggies

READING booked an FA Cup quarter-final clash against Aston Villa after staging a remarkable comeback to see off a West Brom side who were themselves within a minute of a meeting their midlands neighbours.

Gylfi Sigurdsson proved to be the matchwinner in the fifth minute of extra time, just moments after Brian Howard’s strike in the third of four stoppage-time minutes at the end of normal time had brought a dramatic end to the fifth-round replay.

But it could have been so different for a shell-shocked Albion side who looked destined for their second quarter-final place in three seasons.
