Jon Stead: 'Beating Sunderland was better than beating Chelsea'

Bradford City striker Jon Stead has declared his side's FA Cup fifth-round victory over Sunderland better than their fourth-round win over Chelsea.

The Bantams beat the Black Cats 2-0 last Sunday - courtesy of a John O'Shea own goal and Stead's second-half strike - to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.

Stead told BBC Sport: "This tops the Chelsea win because of the expectation on us.

"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."

Bradford will take on Championship outfit Reading in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
