Harrison Reed's late winner sent Fulham into the FA Cup fifth round with a 2-1 comeback victory over Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium. The west London side overturned Jun-Ho Bae's first-half opener with goals from Brazilian winger Kevin and captain Reed in the final six minutes.

Stoke, who hadn't won since January 10, started brightly and took the lead through Bae's thunderous strike after 19 minutes. The South Korean midfielder finished expertly from Eric Bocat's cross, but Marco Silva's much-changed side grew into the game. Kevin equalized in the 55th minute with a deflected first-time effort after cutting in from the left flank.

Reed sealed the win with six minutes remaining when Stoke goalkeeper Tommy Simkin's short pass was intercepted. The Fulham captain stole possession from Tatsuki Seko and calmly slotted home to send the Premier League side through. The victory continues Fulham's strong FA Cup form, having reached the quarter-finals in two of the last three seasons.
