At the bottom, Newport County remain at the foot of the table and are now four points adrift of everyone else following a defeat at home to Fleetwood, while Harrogate Town climb out of the drop zone, where they are replaced by free-falling Bristol Rovers, after picking up a point at Cheltenham Town. #bbcefl FT: Bradford 2-0 Reading Andy Kiwomya Ex-Bradford forward and head of performance on BBC Radio Leeds It is a wonderful win for Bradford City. They showed hard work, energy and then they were just clinical with the two goals. The one from Antoni Sarcevic was a clean finish and then the industrious and trickery from Tyreik Wright to run the ball all the way to the byline and then dink it to the far post, that is what you want from Bradford City. Collectively they did well as a unit and they deserved the three points. FT: Bradford 2-0 Reading Jamie Raynor BBC Radio Leeds' Bradford City commentator That is now a fourth successive league victory, a fourth successive clean sheet and the Bantams are solidifying their position in the top two of the League One table It was a professional performance, professional goals from Antoni Sarcevic and Bobby Pointon on what is his 100th appearance for the club. That has just underlined the intention of Graham Alexander's side this season. #bbcefl FT: Bradford 2-0 Reading Bradford City are playing average and still picking up points.
