Johnson strike seals~Bantams win

admin

The former Manchester United reserve, who has spent most of the season in midfield, was moved into attack to replace leading scorer Peter Thorne and he grabbed the winning goal after 54 minutes.

Joe Colbeck crossed from the left and when Barry Conlon’s shot was deflected into his path, Johnson tapped the ball into the net from close range.

Bradford ought to have taken the lead in the first half when Jamaica international winger Omar Daley missed the easiest of chances by firing over the crossbar from inside the six-yard area.

And Morecambe almost equalised when Craig Stanley hit the post with a 25-yard shot in stoppage time.
