FT: Reading 1 LFC 1

Steven Gerrard rescued
Liverpool again with an equaliser at the Madejski Stadium to
earn an FA Cup third-round replay against Reading and avoid an
embarrassing defeat.
It was hardly the most influential performance from Gerrard but
the Liverpool skipper produced a goal when his side needed it
most, as he does so often, meaning the two clubs will meet again
at Anfield.
Simon Church had bundled in an opener to give the hosts the
scent of an upset but Gerrard levelled before the break for
Rafael Benitez's men.
Liverpool had been defeated on their last visit to Reading's
stadium, little more than two years ago, but plenty has changed
since the days of Steve Coppell's men upsetting the heavyweights
in the Premier League.
