Parkinson basks in Capital One Cup glory

Bradford, who compete three leagues below the Gunners, won on penalties after the game finished 1-1 after extra time.

“To be only three minutes away from beating a team of Arsenal’s calibre says it all,” Parkinson told the club’s official website.

“The talk after the game might be about the penalty shoot-out win and our run of penalty victories, but that shouldn’t take anything away from the lads’ performance.”
