Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson says his players must be proud of their Capital One Cup victory over Arsenal.

Parkinson said his players - who won their ninth successive shoot-out - should be given credit for out-performing a full-strength Arsenal side.

He said: "I don't think the enormity of our achievement has quite sunk in. When get up tomorrow morning and see the headlines in the newspapers they will realise what they have done.

"There is a big gulf between the two teams in terms of finances and places in the divisions.

"I don't want the talk to be about the penalties, I want it to be about the performance. Arsenal have played their best team tonight and we were three minutes away from beating them, then we have had the setback of conceding a goal and had to dig deep again in extra time.

"I hope this can be the first of many nights like this for Bradford City. We want to put Bradford on the map again. I want them to have a team to be proud of."
