Reading fought from a goal down to beat Middlesbrough 4-1 and secure their place in the Premier League Cup quarter-finals.
Bradley Fewster gave Boro a ninth-minute lead from close-range, but Joseph Mendes superbly converted Ryan East’s perfectly timed ball over the top for a first-half leveller.
Gabriel Osho (pictured above) headed in from a corner shortly after the interval, before Mendes added a second and Yakou Meite volleyed in their fourth late on.
