Theo Walcott hat-trick, Laurent Koscielny own goal and Reading squandering 4-0 lead... the last time the Royals met Arsenal in League Cup

Daily Mail | October 25, 2016

If recent matches between Arsenal and Reading are anything to go by, the Emirates crowd are set for an enthralling EFL Cup clash on Tuesday.

And fans can expect goals when the pair go head-to-head. The last time they met in the League Cup, they played out a 12-goal thriller in the last-16 tie at the Madejski.

In a match where Reading squandered a 4-0 lead, the Gunners ran out 7-5 winners in the 2012 clash but it was no easy task for Arsene Wenger's much-changed side.
