Reading faced tough resistance in the third round replay before eventually winning through in extra time thanks to a Nicky Forster goal. In an even contest it was always going to be close and both sides had chances to win the game well before the tie entered extra time at 0-0. Forster probably should have wrapped the game up for Reading before the ninety minutes was up after putting the ball over the crossbar from just a few yards out. Forster failed to take a series of chances before eventually grabbing the decisive goal on ninety five minutes when he stuck home a close range effort after Ingimarsson crossed from the left. Swansea will feel disappointed not to have at least scored after a solid period of pressure in the first half. They put the ball narrowly wide of the target at least once, and when it looked to be heading into the Reading net Sidwell was there to clear off the line. Hahnemann was in excellent from in the Reading goal to keep Reading on level terms at the break. After half time Reading started to look the better side enjoying most of the ball. Owusu came close to putting Reading ahead before Swansea again got a grip on the game. Extra time saw Reading eventually score the decisive goal but Swansea were far from beaten and continued to fight to the end forcing another couple of good saves from Hahnemann. Reading, who progress to round four for the first time since 1998, will face either Leicester City or Blackpool at the Madejski Stadium in the next round.
