Reading Roars!

Premiership giants Arsenal have thumped Reading 3-0 in the Carling Cup, ending the Royals’ glorious winning run.

The North London club’s goals were scored by superkids Jose Antonio Reyes (12th minute) and Robin Van Persie (42nd), and Arturo Lupoli (65th).

Pascal Cygan picked up the only yellow card of the game.

So that’s it. A comprehensive victory for Arsenal, who fielded a young side. When Reading are in the Premiership next season, they will clearly have to raise their game to compete with the big guns.
