Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson declared victory over British broadcaster the BBC after his side completed another FA Cup giant-killing by eliminating Sunderland in the fifth round.

Victors over Chelsea in the previous round, Bradford beat Premier League Sunderland 2-0 on Sunday in a game that was not shown on domestic television due to the BBC's decision to screen Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Leicester City instead.

Responding to complaints from fans, BBC presenter Gary Lineker explained the decision not to broadcast Bradford's game had been taken before Sunderland had come through a fourth-round replay against Fulham.
