Reading 2-3 Walsall | Division 2 Play-Off Final (27-5-01)

Walsall staged an amazing comeback in extra-time to steal promotion from Reading at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. The game finished 1-1 in normal time after Don Goodman had cancelled out Jamie Cureton's opener. Former Walsall player Martin Butler then seemed to have won the match for Reading. But Darren Byfield broke Royals' hearts with the winner after a bizarre own-goal by Reading substitute Tony Rougier had brought Walsall back into the game.
Reading: Whitehead, Viveash, Williams, Murty, Harper, Robinson, Igoe, Parkinson, Butler, Cureton, McIntyre. Subs: Howie, Hunter, Caskey, Forster, Rougier.
Walsall: Walker, Aranalde, Barras, Tillson, Brightwell, Keates, Bennett, Matias, Goodman, Leitao, Hall. Subs: Emberson, Gadsby, Bukran, Angell, Byfield.
