Reading staged a spectacular come-back to oust fellow Championship team West Brom from the FA Cup.

Twice the Royals fell behind at the Hawthorns and twice dragged themselves level before their winner at the start of extra time.

Robert Koren had appeared to give the Baggies the start to a successful path to the next round when on six minutes he lashed home a shot in the six yard box into the roof of the net.

However Reading had other ideas and Jimmy Kebe in particular when his close-range shot brought them level. West Brom responded by taking the lead just seconds into the second half, Koren again on the scoresheet driving a shot from outside the area low into the corner.

But Reading were not finished yet and three minutes into stoppage time at the end of the 90 minutes, Brian Howard received Jimmy Kebe’s pass and powered a shot into the top corner from 18 yards to take the tie to extra time.

And the comeback was complete and their 6th Round place assured with a scorcher from Gylfi Sigurdsson to the top right corner.
