Arsenal Out-Gun Reading In 12-Goal Thriller

In the Capital One Cup last night, Reading let a 4-0 lead go to waste as they were knocked out 7-5 by Arsenal in a madcap last 16 match at the Majedski Stadium.

The Royals had their four goals advantage after just 37 minutes, but a late equaliser left it 4-4 at the end of the 90 minutes.

It was then 5-apiece with minutes remaining in extra time, before Theo Walcott and Marouane Chamakh gave the Gunners the win.

Rading boss Brian Mc Dermott has been reflecting on a memorable game.

Elsewhere, in the other games Aston Villa needed a late goal to beat Sindon 3-2, Sunderland lost 1-0 at home to Middlesbrough, Leeds beat Southampton 3-0 and Bradford beat Wigan on penalties following a scoreless draw.

Tonight Chelsea host Manchester United, Liverpool play Swansea and Norwich take on Spurs.

In Scotland, Celtic beat St Johnstone 5-0 in the league cup quarter final.

While, in the Airtricity league, Waterford United drew 2-2 with Dundalk in last night’s promotion/relegation play-off first leg at Oriel park.

The second leg takes place at the RSC on Friday night.
