By Toby Davis LONDON, April 18 (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger conceded luck played a big part in deciding Saturday's FA Cup semi-final after 120 minutes against a Reading outfit fuelled with "ready to die" resilience. Few predicted the Championship side would put up much of a fight on Wembley's wide pitch that seemed perfectly-suited to Arsenal's mesmeric passing game. The match, which began as a drab spectacle and ended in a rip-roaring end-to-end contest, deserved better than to be decided by Adam Federici's devastating error when he let Alexis Sanchez's tame shot squirm under his body in extra time. The Australian left the pitch in tears as Arsenal celebrated reaching a record 19th FA Cup final where Liverpool or Aston Villa await.
