That's it, we're calling it a day for what has been a mammoth live coverage tonight—thanks for joining me as always and hope you've enjoyed the coverage, though you're excused from that if you are an Arsenal fan.

I'll be back with more live action from the top flight at the weekend, where no doubt the country's best teams will be relieved that no League Two sides lurk.

Massive congratulations to Bradford City for their place in the last four of the League Cup—Aston Villa got there this evening too remember—and commiserations to Arsenal. By the looks of Twitter, the inquest starts here.

Full time in the League Cup:

Bradford City 1-1 Arsenal (a.e.t., Bradford win 3-2 on penalties)

Wow.

What else can you say?

Arsenal took an age to get going, left it late to drag themselves back into the game, looked like they might push on to win it—and then let it slip on penalties.

Bradford defended magnificently for the whole game but they more than played their part for the first hour in an attacking sense too, and they certainly deserved their victory by the end of the game for the effort and determination showed.

For Arsene Wenger it's a big opportunity missed to progress to the semifinals and try to end that long-running trophy void.

Absolutely incredible scenes at Valley Parade as the fans invade the pitch, the management, coaching staff, players and everybody else embrace each other—they are overcome with emotion and pride.

Arsenal take something of a walk of shame, they have been knocked out by League Two side Bradford City.

It's Bradford City first, Nathan Doyle to take it.

Right. This is it. Bradford City vs. Arsenal is about to go to a penalty shootout. Hold onto your hats, this could be epic either way.

Who is the pressure on most now? On Arsenal, because they are still expected to win? Or on Bradford, who have come so far and done so well but still need to rely on a little bit of luck to go through?

So it's penalties then. Bradford have already won three times in shoot-outs this season, over Hartlepool and Wigan Athletic amongst them.
