Reading boss Steve Clarke hailed matchwinner Yakubu Aiyegbeni after their FA Cup win over Derby County.
The former Everton striker grabbed the winner on 82 minutes.
Clarke said: "We knew what we were getting with him. He's a goalscorer and when he goes through one against one you expect him to sure.
"He's very good at doing the business in that sort of situation and that makes him a great asset.
"All credit to Derby for the way they played with 10. We knew they would still come at us but we handled the situation well."
