Andy Cook scored two goals in five first-half minutes as League Two Bradford knocked Championship side Hull City out of the Carabao Cup.
Cook struck twice just before half-time after an own goal from goalkeeper Harry Lewis had given Hull the lead.
First Cook headed home before a corner was worked to him to score what proved to be the winner.
Hull, who made seven changes from Saturday's 0-0 draw at Preston, managed only two shots on target in the tie.
A moment of fortune helped the visitors take the lead midway through the first half as Randell Williams laid a ball on for Ozan Tufan 20 yards out.
Tufan's clean strike hit the bar and the rebound bounced in off unlucky Bradford goalkeeper Lewis.
Out of nothing, a cross from the right was headed in by Cook and the goal seemed to spook Hull.
They almost conceded again moments later as Harry Chapman's low shot was well saved, but shortly after Cook's second, a low finish, sent them out of the competition.
Bradford manager Mark Hughes told BBC Radio Leeds:
"I thought we were excellent. We dusted ourselves down after going behind and put them under real pressure.
"The goals came at a great time and from there we didn't have too much pressure on us.
"It was a different type of game for us, we're used to having the ball, but we showed a different side of our game."
Hull City boss Shota Arveladze told BBC Radio Humberside:
"It's over and it's painful.
"We changed seven players but no-one who hasn't played that role before.
"Collectively I wanted the players to have the character to respond to behind behind but we didn't."

On another note, what a poorly written piece this is. Factually incorrect in places and worded in a way that makes it far more difficult to read than it needs to be.
