Details:

Goals from Gary Cahill and Ramires gave a much-changed Blues side a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge before ex-Sunderland striker Jon Stead pulled one back just before half time.

Former Chelsea player Filipe Morais, who played in Jose Mourinho’s first game in charge of Chelsea, a pre-season clash with Oxford United, in 2004, then drew the Bantams level with 15 minutes remaining.

Mourinho responded by bringing Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard and Willian on but it was Bradford who went ahead through Andy Halliday’s brilliant solo goal.

Phil Parkinson’s side survived a barrage of late pressure from the hosts and then hit the Blues with a sucker punch as Mark Yeates struck in injury time to seal a sensational victory.

And there was a shock exit for title rivals Manchester City too as they were beaten 2-0 by Middlesbrough at the Etihad Stadium

Chelsea youngster Patrick Bamford, on loan at the Riverside, was the hero for Aitor Karanka’s men as he managed to bundle home following a mix up from Willy Caballero, in for Joe Hart, and Fernando.

Despite having the firepower of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Frank Lampard on the pitch they could not find the goal they needed.

And to add to Manuel Pellegrini’s misery, **** wrapped up the triumph, finishing off a move involving Albert Adomah and Bamford

There was a thriller at St Mary’s as Crystal Palace beat Southampton 3-2 to progress to the next round.

Marouane Chamakh hit a brace for the Eagles, with on loan Yaya Sanogo grabbing a third for Alan Pardew’s, meaning Graziano Pelle’s strike and a Scott Dann own goal were in vain for the hosts.

Leicester City came from behind to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at White Hart Lane.

Andros Townsend had handed Spurs the lead with a first half penalty but a Leonardo Ulloa and Jeffrey Schlupp scored in the final eight minutes of the match to ****** victory for Nigel Pearson’s Foxes.

Victor Anichebe starred as West Brom edged a closely fought Midlands derby to progress with a 2-1 victory over Birmingham City at St Andrews.

Anichebe linked up impressively with England striker Saido Berahino for both of his first-half strikes, although Jonathan Grounds halved the deficit for the hosts on half time.

Hal Robson-Kanu scored a late winner as Reading came from a goal down to beat Cardiff City 2-1 in an all-Championship encounter at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Kenwyne Jones’ header had given Russell Slade’s side an early lead before Oliver Norwood’s free kick drew the visitors level just after the hour mark.

Robson-Kanu then found the top right corner with a superb solo goal in the 88th minute to send Reading through to the fifth round.

Darren Bent grabbed his first Derby County goal as Steve McClaren’s Championship high-flyers booked their place in the next round with a 2-0 win over League One side Chesterfield.

Bent, on loan from Aston Villa, headed home from close range half way through the first half and starlet Will Hughes made sure of the win with a late left-footed strike.

Elsewhere, Sheffield United youngster Diego De Girolamo earned the Blades a replay against League One rivals Preston North End to a 1-1 draw, while Fulham held Sunderland, who had Jack Rodwell sent off, to a 0-0 stalemate.

Paul Gallagher had opened the scoring with a brilliant 30-yard free-kick but, with 22 minutes remaining, the Italian youth international fired home the equaliser.

Well some great upsets in there, all the top teams out in one round.....

I am shocked and surprised by Bradford's result, however that said I do not rate Chelsea at all.

Derby should have always won, @Cobby shown me the score (I think at half time) and Darren Bent had scored. Majority of the scores are standard but there are a couple which stand out.

You can never take FA cup scores for granted.There is usually at least one  major  and several minor upsets.That's the magic of the FA cup.The bigger the are(or think they are) the further they fall.

I think it would be very surreal if Bradford was able to replicate their previous success in the cup but this time in the F.A Cup, could you just see them getting into the final?

That would be massive for them.

I wonder who Bradford and Derby will draw? ;)
