Reading take on Bradford City in FA Cup quarter final replay

Hundreds of fans invaded the pitch as Reading made it through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, for the first time since 1927.

In what turned out to be a fairly straightforward victory, the Royals beat Bradford City 3-0 in front of a packed out crowd at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading will now take on Arsenal at Wembley on April 18.

Reading are now 3-0 up against Bradford, just minutes after Bradford's Filipe Morais was dismissed for dangerous play.

Many fans have still not made it into the Madejski Stadium for Reading's FA cup tie against Bradford City, following congestion in the surrounding area.

Reading went 2-0 up within ten minutes, thanks to goals from Robson-Kanu and McCleary.

The Royals last reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup 88 years ago.

Reading boss Steve Clarke has changed his entire starting line-up for his side's FA Cup quarter-final replay against Bradford.

Having made nine alterations in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Watford, the Royals' manager introduced a new-look starting XI for the replay at the Madejski just over 48 hours later.

Pavel Pogrebnyak, who hit a post in the original 0-0 draw, was recalled as well as skipper Alex Pearce and the likes of Nathaniel Chalobah and Jamie Mackie.

Bradford meanwhile made six changes from the 1-1 League One draw at Notts County as Ben Williams, Alan Sheehan, Filipe Morais, Andy Halliday, Billy Knott and James Hanson all returned for Phil Parkinson's side.
