Reading reached the FA Cup quarter-finals at Premier League at Everton's expense after a first-half goal from defender Matt Mills earned a 1-0 fifth round victory at Goodison Park on Tuesday.
Mills struck the only goal in the 26th minute, following up after his initial header from a corner had been blocked.
Lacklustre Everton, beaten by Chelsea in the 2009 final, created few clear-cut openings. Their best chance fell to Leon Osman late on but he was denied by a fine block from Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.
