Bradford star Morais: My goal a gift from God!

Bradford City midfielder Filipe Morais was thrilled to score against former club Chelsea in their stunning FA Cup win.

The ball had fallen to Billy Knott, the attacking midfielder, just inside the six-yard area after being flicked on by James Hanson.

Morais positioned himself near the far post, unmarked, and waiting to pounce.

"It's hard to put into words isn't. Wow. It's things we dream about as players," he told the London Evening Standard.

"You know what. When it fell to Billy I saw he was going to shoot. I thought I'm going to have a gamble here.

"The chance falling to me like that was purely a gift from God because that just doesn't happen. I asked for it last night and it's worked for me so I just thank God for that."
