Royals thwart Rafa
Reading and Liverpool shared a 1-1 draw in an exciting FA Cup third round match at the Madejski Stadium. Brian McDermott’s men certainly scared the daylights out of Rafael Benitez’ star studded team when Simon Church put Reading in front in the 24th minute. Liverpool levelled the scores nine minutes before the break when Stephen Gerrard hit a long-range equaliser. However, the Premier League giants were left in no doubt that they had an extremely hard game on their hands as Reading showed the mettle to lift the morale of all those cheering them on.
