Reading 0 - 1 Tottenham

Reading crashed out of the FA Cup but this defeat to Spurs turned out not to be the goal feast we've become used to against our North London opponents.

Robbie Keane won the tie on 15 minutes when he thumped in a rebound after Younes Kaboul headed against the bar. Jermain Defoe came close to adding a second but his fierce, low volley was superbly palmed away by Adam Federici.

After the break Stephen Hunt lashed a volley against the bar, Simon Cox saw his header across goal saved, while Steed Malbranque's vicious volley was tipped on to the bar by Federici.
