Reading will face Sheffield Wednesday or Huddersfield in the Championship play-off final after Yann Kermorgant's penalty saw off Fulham.
Yann Kermorgant put his play-off penalty demons behind him to book Reading's place in the Championship final with a 1-0 win over Fulham.
Kermorgant suffered heartache and was briefly a figure of ridicule when his chipped spot-kick was saved as Leicester City subsided to a semi-final shootout defeat against Cardiff City in 2010.
The veteran French forward took a more conventional route on this occasion and Marcus Bettinelli could only palm his well-struck 49th-minute effort into the corner after Tomas Kalas' handball.
