Reading will have a chance to win the Premier League Cup for the second time after reaching the final with a 4-1 victory over Norwich City at the Madejski Stadium.

Rob Dickie netted the opener after Josh Barrett's free-kick was saved, before Sam Smith (pictured above) headed in from Omar Richards' set piece and Tyler Frost made it 3-0 before half-time.

Ray Grant pulled one back for Norwich from close range shortly after the interval, before Smith headed in his second in stoppage time.

Swansea City or Portsmouth, who meet on Tuesday, await for Reading, who won the inaugural competition in 2013/14.
