Antoni Sarcevic double earns 10-man Bradford victory over Leyton Orient

Antoni Sarcevic scored twice to earn a fifth straight home win for promotion-chasing Bradford against Leyton Orient.

Sarcevic struck to seal a 2-1 win four minutes after Bradford had been reduced to 10 men when defender Aden Baldwin was sent off.

Tyreik Wright forced an early save from Orient goalkeeper Will Dennis before crossing for Sarcevic to clip the outside of a post.

Josh Koroma shot well over for the visitors, but the game was mainly played in their half.

Bradford made their pressure count after 33 minutes as Sarcevic’s shot to the near post proved too strong for Dennis.

Orient levelled against the run of play 10 minutes later as Ollie O’Neill drilled home from 20 yards.

Dennis saved his side with a good block to deny Wright early in the second half after a clever flick by Ethan Wheatley.

Baldwin saw red after 75 minutes for a lunge on O’Neill, but the Bantams found a winner as Sarcevic scored again after Stephen Humphrys played him through.
