Beating Sunderland in FA Cup tops Chelsea win

Bradford FA Cup hero Jon Stead claimed the 2-0 victory over Sunderland was even better than their stunning win at Chelsea.

Stead scored for the fifth successive round to help the League One side claim a quarter-final place.

The former Black Cats striker said expectations had increased following the 4-2 fourth-round win at Stamford Bridge last month.

He said: "This tops the Chelsea win because of the expectation on us."

Stead added to a first-half own goal from John O'Shea to seal Bradford's place in the last eight for the first time in 39 years.

The on-loan Huddersfield forward added: "It's ended up, dare I say, a comfortable victory. The fans were magnificent and we made things hard for Sunderland right from the off, getting in their faces."
