The Blues are out of the FA Cup after Bradford came from two goals down to record an upset at the Bridge.
It looked like being a routine afternoon on our home turf after goals from Gary Cahill and Ramires, but Jon Stead fired a goal back for the Bantams minutes before the break.
Our visitors continued to pose a threat after it and equalised with a quarter-of-an-hour to go through Filipe Morais after Cech had saved well from Billy Knott.
They then completed the turnaround on 82 minutes courtesy of a fine Andy Halliday strike and their win was sealed in injury time through substitute Mark Yeates. Didier Drogba and Kurt Zouma both had chances between the League One side’s third and fourth goals to level but it was those in claret and amber celebrating at the final whistle after our first home loss of the season.
