Liverpool's disastrous season plunged to new depths as they suffered
a humiliating FA Cup exit at Anfield to Reading.
The Reds lost Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres to injuries and
were stunned by the Championship side, who forced extra-time before
substitute Shane Long headed the winner in this third round replay.
Gerrard had seen a shot deflected home by Reading defender Ryan
Bertrand to give Liverpool the lead in the final seconds of the
first-half.
They held that lead until injury-time, when Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised
from the spot. However, Liverpool were a shambles in extra-time
and Long's winner was no more than Reading deserved.
