Matt Duke says he knew that he could make the saves to help Bradford City win their penalty shootout against Arsenal.

Matt Duke has said he was confident that Bradford City would beat Arsenal in the penalty shootout to decide their Capital One Cup quarter-final tie.

Bradford won the spot kick contest 3-2, their ninth shootout win in a row.

The Bantams keeper told Sky Sports News: "The lads in front of me were tremendous and we made it hard for Arsenal. It's a big night for the club and it was great to see Valley Parade full tonight.

"The lads were superb. I was confident we'd do it in the penalty shootout. We've got some great takers and I was confident I'd save a couple."

Manager Phil Parkinson added: "The talk will be about the penalties but the overall performance was excellent tonight. The way the lads stuck at the task was a credit to them."

The match finished 1-1 in normal time, with neither team finding a winner in extra time to send the game to penalties.
