Bradford continue League One play-off push with victory over Peterborough

Bradford continue League One play-off push with victory over Peterborough

Bradford reinvigorated their Sky Bet League One play-off push with a one-sided 2-0 win over Peterborough at the University of Bradford Stadium.

Peterborough had won their previous two games, but lost experienced defender Tom Lees in the warm-up and found themselves under pressure from the start.

George Nevett cleared off the line from Kayden Jackson before the home side took a fifth-minute lead.

Posh goalkeeper Alex Bass punched weakly from a high cross by Tyreik Wright and Bobby Pointon converted the loose ball from close range.

Bradford created several chances with Bass saving from Wright and Jackson. Antoni Sarcevic went close with a lob which dropped past the far post and Max Power should have scored after being set up by Jackson.

The Bantams went 2-0 up five minutes after the break as Jackson nodded home his first goal since signing from Derby.

Bass brilliantly tipped Josh Neufville’s shot on to the crossbar and Jenson Metcalfe’s free-kick smacked a post. Substitute Ethan Wheatley was thwarted by Bass as the hosts continued to dominate.

Pemi Aderoju had a chance to pull one back, but Peterborough were second best.
