Giant-killing: CHELSEA 2-4 BRADFORD CITY


Chelsea and Manchester City were both dumped out of the FA Cup by lower-league opponents on a day of incredible fourth round drama.

Chelsea surrendered a 2-0 lead as they went down 4-2 at home to League One side Bradford City, with ex-Stamford Bridge man Filipe Morais scoring the equaliser before Andy Halliday grabbed the winner eight minutes from time and Mark Yeates capped off an astonishing win in stoppage time.

Jose Mourinho endured his worst loss as Chelsea manager as the Premier League leaders suffered a second half meltdown against League One Bradford. Mourinho said on Friday that defeat would be "a disgrace" then watched his nightmare become reality.

Goals from Gary Cahill and Ramires put Chelsea in seemingly complete command before Jon Stead reduced the arrears just before half-time. The game turned in an astounding final 15 minutes as Filipe Morais, Andy Halliday and Mark Yeates all scored past Petr Cech as Bradford beat a side 49 places above them in the league ladder.
