Reading book Arsenal semi showdown

Reading booked an FA Cup semifinal clash against holders Arsenal after romping to a 3-0 victory over 10-man Bradford in their quarterfinal replay on Monday.

Steve Clarke's Championship side had been held to a goalless draw by their third tier opponents in the first meeting at Valley Parade.

But Reading avoided the same fate as Chelsea and Sunderland, the two Premier League teams dumped out of the competition by Bradford this season, as they easily moved into their first FA Cup semifinal since 1927.
