Bradford 2-0 Sunderland: Poyet's men dumped out of FA Cup by giant-killing Bantams

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.
