LONDON (Reuters) - Reading manager Steve Clarke and Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger sympathised with Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici whose horrendous mistake in extra time gifted Alexis Sanchez the winning goal in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.
Federici, who had had a fine game for the Championship underdogs making seven saves including one majestic stop from a Gabriel header in the second half, left the field in tears after Arsenal battled to a 2-1 win to reach a record 19th FA Cup final against either Liverpool or Aston Villa on May 30.
