"They were fantastic and played it like a quarter-final from the first whistle. They were terrific."
Reading boss Brian McDermott reserved praise for goalscorer Long, who had sat out the previous four games through suspension following a red card in the fifth-round tie with West Brom.
First he headed in after Matt Mills had flicked on a corner, and the Republic of Ireland international then swept home a second after a fine passing move.
McDermott said: "Shane scored twice against international defenders and he was first-class throughout.
"I am very proud of all my players. I am disappointed for the fans that we couldn't get a day out at Wembley but we must now focus on the league.
"We came up against players who could be in the Champions League next year.
