BRADFORD CITY AFC

After Reece Burke had given City the half-time lead with his first senior goal, Cole latched onto Knott's pass just after the hour mark to confidently slot past Joel Coleman for his second Bradford goal.

Oldham, who had Jonathan Forte sent off in the first period for a head-butt on Stephen Darby, pulled a goal back eight minutes from the end through a header from Joe Mills but Parkinson's men hung on for a deserved win.

68min: The ball bounces kindly into the path of Morris just outside the area. The midfielder goes for the half-volley but his bouncing effort while under pressure from O'Connell flies over the bar.

62min: Williams hangs onto Yeates' direct free-kick on goal from 25 yards out.

58min: Philliskirk latches onto a lofted pass into the box but a watchful Darby gets his body in the way of the attacker's path to goal. The defender eventually does just enough to prevent Philliskirk getting a strike in and the ball instead rolls into the path of Williams.

58min: Dunn bursts through City's back four but he doesn't have the pace to continue on his run towards the box and a recovering Burke can get back and dispossess the Oldham attacker.

57min: Dunn picks up the ball in space before curling in a strike from juts outside the area straight at Williams.

55min: Yeates has to head behind for a corner to prevent Morris from connecting from close range following Marshall's hanging cross towards the far post.

45min: There will be three minutes of time added on at the end of the match.

Hanson looks set to pounce with a header of his own but his effort for goal is blocked from close range by the frame of Eoghan O'Connell.

44min: So close from Hanson! Morris' inviting cross into the box finds the unmarked Hanson but his header from around eight yards out in the middle is tipped over by Coleman!

38min: Knott fires narrowly wide of Coleman's near post with a low drive from around 25 yards out.

32min: YELLOW CARD - Gary Liddle is booked for catching David Dunn with a late tackle around the halfway line.

31min: With Marshall pressuring Joe Mills deep inside Oldham's half, the left back is forced to pass back to Coleman, who is closed down by Hanson and then Cole. As the two strikers go to hound the Oldham shot-stopper, Coleman just manages to get enough space inside the box to hurriedly kick clear.

29min: Jones' free-kick delivery into the area from a distance out leads to one or two struggles in the City defence to clear their lines. Stephen Darby eventually ends the period of pressure by heading behind for a corner.

24min: The City bench scream for a penalty after Cole goes down just inside the box under a challenge from James Wilson. Cole found his way into the box after showing some impressive pace to burst forward and leave two Oldham defenders in his wake. Just as Cole looked set to shoot, however, his progress is halted by Wilson with a diving tackle. On first glance, it seems the young striker may have be clipped but referee Mr Mark Heywood clearly thought the Oldham skipper had got something on the ball and lets play continue.

13min: YELLOW CARD - Danny Philliskirk is booked for catching Morris with a late tackle just inside Oldham's half of the pitch.
