Bradford extend unbeaten run

admin

Midfielder Billy Knott scored the decisive goal after 41 minutes following a mix-up on the edge of the penalty area between goalkeeper Roy Carroll and former Bantams winger Garry Thompson.

Andy Halliday picked up the loose ball and cut it back to the unmarked Knott, whose left-footed shot went into the net off the boot of Notts’ skipper Hayden Mullins.

Earlier, Halliday was twice off target when well placed while Knott saw his left-footed shot on the turn fly just over the angle of the post and crossbar.

Notts’ best first-half effort came in the 22nd minute when Jake Cassidy’s shot from the edge of the area struck the post after Stephen McLaughlin had laid the ball into his path.

Bradford continued to dominate in the second period on a muddy and and increasingly slippery surface without being able to add to their lead, although Carroll did well to save from James Hanson, while substitute Francois Zoko was inches away from adding a second goal in stoppage time.
