0-1: Lucas Piazon is put through on goal early on and slots past Joe Lewis to make it 1-0 to Reading

0-2: Former Fulham striker Orlando Sá comes back to haunt Craven Cottage as he put the visitors 2-0 up on 49 minutes after beating Tim Ream for pace and finishing well across Lewis' goal

1-2: Straight from kick-off, Ross McCormack pulled a goal back following a great flick and turn shot which found Al-Habsi's bottom right corner

2-2: The equaliser came almost as quickly, with Moussa Dembélé tapping in a Lasse Vigen Christensen cross from close range

3-2: A remarkable comeback was completed with three goals in just six minutes as Alex Kačaniklić was put through on goal by Dembélé, and sent a right-footed finish past Al-Habsi

4-2: The match was then finished off after great interplay between Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembélé; the latter sending a composed finish to the far corner of the net
