Simon Church gave the Royals the lead in the first half but the scores were level 12 minutes later after Steven Gerrard equalised, with Dirk Kuyt distracting Adam Federici in the Reading goal.

McAnuff told ITV1: "Before the game we would have probably taken the draw and the chance to go there and get a result.

"It's a great place to play football, we'll really enjoy it and hopefully get another chance to go and express ourselves and get a result again."
