Reading reach Under-21 final

Last updated : 18 March 2014 By Tony Scholes

Reading, who have recently been rewarded with a Category 1 academy under EPPP,  faced an away semi against Arsenal which was played at Boreham Wood three days ago, and it was Arsenal who went in front on 14 minutes with a penalty from Isaac Hayden.

The Royals were level by half time through Craig Tanner and that 1-1 scoreline remained to the end of 90 minutes.

But it was the visitors who clinched a place in the final with Tanner getting his second and Liam Kelly adding a third in extra- time to give Reading a 3-1 win.

Burnley will travel to Ewen Fields for our semi-final on Tuesday 1st April with the game kicking off at 7 p.m.
