John O'Shea's early own goal and Jon Stead's second-half effort saw Bradford City claim another Premier League scalp as they defeated Sunderland 2-0 to continue their remarkable FA Cup adventure.
League
One Bradford had provided one of the greatest shocks in the
competition's illustrious history in the previous round when they came
from two down to defeat Premier League leaders Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford
Bridge.
Sunday's fifth-round encounter at Valley Parade lacked
the thrilling drama of that match, but it was still another memorable
victory for a side who have become accustomed to ousting top-flight
opposition in the cup competitions.
It also provided a headache
for British TV executives, who had controversially opted not to show the
match live - despite Bradford's heroics in round four.
