Sam Stubbs converted a Harry Chapman corner midway through the second half to earn Bradford a place in the quarter-finals.

Bantams defender Ash Taylor said: “It feels very good to get the clean sheet against a top side.

“You want to test yourself against teams above you.

“When you look at the size of Derby and the bags of talent they have, not just on the pitch, but on the sidelines too, we can definitely pat ourselves on the back, and take momentum from it.

“The stadium does not intimidate us - I do not think it even impacted us to be honest. We are used to it, week in, week out, when we play at home.

“You try and block out what is around you sometimes, and that makes it easier to concentrate.

“Of course, it is nice to get the win in a place like this, and to get the clean sheet is like the icing on the cake.”
