Arsenal beat Reading 2-1

FULL TIME: Reading 1-2 Arsenal

Sanchez hits a lame free kick, but no matter! The whistle goes for full time, and he’s the two-goal hero! Arsenal, the FA Cup holders, have reached the 2015 final! And they’ve done it at the expense of brave Reading, and poor old Adam Federici. The Reading keeper has one of those thousand-yard stares going on, and he departs the scene in tears, the poor fellow. But while, yes, his error ultimately cost Reading, he was one of 14 heroes in blue and white tonight. Arsenalwere below par, Reading were well above theirs, but it wasn’t quite enough for the Championship side. A brilliant game of football, though, which deserves to be remembered for more than one goalkeeping mishap. Let’s hope Reading don’t have to wait another 88 years for their next shot at the final.
