Bradford shock Villa to reach League Cup final

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom (AFP)

English fourth-tier side Bradford City created a sensation on Tuesday by beating Premier League club Aston Villa 4-3 on aggregate to reach the League Cup final.

An 89th-minute goal by Andreas Weimann meant Villa won 2-1 on the night but it was not enough to prevent Bradford from becoming the first team from the English fourth division to reach the League Cup final in 51 years.
