Reading knocks out Liverpool from FA Cup
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 01 - 2010

Reading sent Liverpool crashing out of the FA Cup when it came from behind for a 2-1 win after extra time in their third-round replay at Anfield Wednesday.
The Championship (second division) struggler was losing 1-0 with 30 seconds remaining before equalizing with a penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson four minutes into stoppage time. Shane Long glanced home Reading's winner in the 10th minute of extra time to give them a stunning victory and a fourth-round tie at Burnley. Liverpool had taken the lead in stoppage time at the end of the first half when Ryan Bertrand deflected a Steven Gerrard cross into his own net.
In the night's other replay, Newcastle United beat Plymouth ARgfyle 3-0 with a hat trick from Danish striker Peter Lovenkrands to set up a fourth round tie against West Bromwich Albion.
Juve ends poor run
Juventus ended its poor run with a 3-0 home win over Napoli in the Italian Cup last 16 Wednesday but Diego's opener caused huge controversy.
Juve coach Ciro Ferrara had presided over four defeats in five games but looks safe in his job for now after a victory sealed by two second-half goals from the little-used Alessandro Del Piero, the second a penalty.
The first goal was the main talking point, however, with Brazilian playmaker Diego, a major flop since his big close-season move from Werder Bremen, netted on 24 minutes despite Napoli's Jesus Datolo lying injured on the floor. Juve faces a quarterfinal this month against Serie A leader Inter Milan.
Mathieu Flamini earlier spared AC Milan's blushes by netting the winner nine minutes from time in a 2-1 last-16 victory over third tier Novara. Catania's Gianvinto Plasmati scored twice early on in a 2-1 win at nine-man Genoa.
Deportivo in quarters
Deportivo La Coruna scored twice in the second half to draw 2-2 against Valencia and advance to the Copa del Rey quarterfinals Wednesday on a 4-3 aggregate.
Third-tier Alcorcon, which knocked Real Madrid out in the last round, couldn't maintain its good run as it drew 0-0 at Racing Santander to lose 3-2 on aggregate.
Racing will play Osasuna after Masoud Soleimani's impressive 49th-minute strike gave Osasuna a 1-0 win over second-division leader Hercules, which dropped out on away goals after the teams finished tied 2
