Reading 0-2 Crystal Palace: Pardew's men leave it late

Crystal Palace secured a trip to Wembley as two late goals see it past brave Reading in a fiercely contested quarterfinal clash.

Late goals from Yohan Cabaye and Fraizer Campbell helped Crystal Palace secure a place in the semifinals of the FA Cup with a hard-fought 2-0 win over 10-man Reading at the Madejski Stadium.

Frenchman Cabaye converted from the spot in the 86th minute after Jake Cooper had needlessly hauled down Yannick Bolasie, with the Reading defender picking up a second yellow card from referee Mike Dean.

The visitor made sure of the win in injury time, substitute Campbell finishing at the second attempt after his initial effort had struck a post.
