Bradford City striker Nahki Wells said dumping Arsenal out of the Capital One Cup in front of the home fans was a memorable experience he will forever cherish.The Bantams won on penalties (3-2) after an absorbing game finished 1-1 at the end of extra time at a packed Valley Pride earlier this week to advance to the semi- finals of the League Cup for the first time.“It was a great experience and a rare opportunity to play on that stage in front of nearly 24,000 fans against Arsenal and I really enjoyed it,” Wells told The Royal Gazette. “It was great for the city who haven’t had something to celebrate about in years and a good night for the club and the fans loved it.“It feels great to know that we done the club proud and hopefully this can be the beginning of something great.”Tuesday’s stunning result was the ninth successive penalty shoot-out win for City and their second successive win in the League Cup against a Premier side having ousted Wigan Athletic in the previous round.In order to keep their cup hopes alive, Wells and his team mates knew they had to bring their ‘A’ game against Arsene Wenger’s team.“We knew it would take 110 percent to beat them and that everyone would have to be up for it,” Wells said. “With a bit of good fortune we scored a good goal and ruffled their feathers a bit and put them out of their comfort zone.”Wells had a big say in his team’s 16th minute goal, earning a free kick deep in Arsenal’s half which team mate Garry Thompson duly turned in at the far post.“I knew that if I got a chance to get at them I would take them on and pass or draw free kicks and luckily the first one (free kick) I got resulted in a goal,” he said. “I’m happy to have played a part in the goal and overall being involved with that fantastic night.”Wells, City’s current leading goalscorer with 14 goals, was a thorn in the side of Thomas Vermaelen, twice rolling the Gunners captain to give himself a sniff at goal. The Bermuda international nearly doubled his team’s lead just before the half when he dragged a difficult chance inches wide after shaking off his marker with some clever footwork.“I knew I was going to have to work and kill myself for a goal and I don’t mind doing that because that’s what we have to do in the lower leagues,” Wells said. “You have to work hard and then it falls for you and I felt I did giving a bit of pressure on Vermaelen a few times who crumbled and a few chances fell for me. Unfortunately they were not clear cut but I tried to make the most of them and the one right before the half would’ve put the icing on the cake because we would’ve been going in 2-0 at halftime. From my angle it looked as though it was going in but it went just outside the post which was a bit hard to accept.”Wells jarred his right knee late in the second-half in a tackle with England international Jack Wilshere and was eventually replaced. He remains doubtful for City’s away league clash with Southend United tomorrow.“It’s probably a good thing I came off because my knee was getting weaker,” he said. “I’m doubtful for the weekend but hopefully I can come around.”After threatening on several occasions Arsenal eventually equalised through an 88th minute header from Vermaelen to send the cup tie into extra time.“That was heartbreaking because we were close to beating them in regular time and not many teams can do that,” Wells said. “We were gutted and I didn’t know if we had the energy or desire to win it after that. But we held firm and the motivation the gaffer (Phil Parkinson) gave us was outstanding.”
