Royals into last eight as Toffees come unstuck

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

Mills fired home after 26 minutes of last night’s fifth-round tie at Everton to put the Royals, who knocked out Liverpool en route to the last eight in 2010, within a game of Wembley.

The Toffees lacked a cutting edge in the first-half and the situation was not helped by the late arrival of their weekend goal hero Jermaine Beckford.
