Federici issues apology

London - Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici has apologised for the howler that allowed Arsenal to win 2-1 after extra time in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley at the weekend.

The Australian had a fine game for the Championship underdogs on Sunday but ruined his performance by allowing an Alexis Sanchez shot to squirm under his body for the winner.

Sanchez's effort slipped through the 30-year-old's hands and although Federici lunged back to collect the ball, it was already a metre over the line.
