VIDEO: Paul McShane’s goal-scoring heroics led the way for Reading during FA Cup upset

Conan Doherty

He shoots, he scores.

Right?

Paul McShane is a man on form. We’re power ranking the Republic of Ireland squad and, on current form, the Wicklow natives makes the Ireland XI for Euro 2016.

It’s science.

And he’s proving the science works.

1-0 down in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Premier League West Brom, the Reading defender wouldn’t bow his head.

Instead, he used that noggin’ to fire his team back into the tie and start a momentous comeback for the Championship outfit as they went on to beat Albion 3-1.

And it was a decent ol’ header too that put Reading into the quarter-finals.
