Bradford 3: Burton 2: Darby scores in extra-time to seal Bantams fightback
The former Liverpool defender picked a choice time to score his first goal for the claret and amber, whose fans will be dreaming of a juicy cup draw at the likes of Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge or even Darby’s old club when the fourth-round draw is made this evening.
Darby fired in a cracking 30-yard shot beyond the grasp of Burton’s goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson to ensure a deserved win for City, who refused to take no for an answer after finally battering down the Brewers’ wall after trailing 2-0 at the interval.
