Brentford striker Nathan Elder scored with the last kick of the game to earn his side a 2-1 victory over promotion rivals Bradford.

The forward glanced home Ryan Dickson's whipped free-kick deep into injury time to break Bradford's hearts when they thought they had done enough for a point.

A hard-fought game came to life in the final few minutes when Brentford took the lead through Marcus Bean, who sidefooted home from the edge of the box after Dickson's shot was blocked.

A minute later Michael Boulding latched on to a poor clearance from the home defence to fire past the Bees' on-loan goalkeeper Mikkel Andersen.

The 6ft 5in Dane had earlier kept his side in the hunt with a series of saves from Boulding and Peter Thorne before Elder struck to send the Bees fourth, above Bradford on goal difference.
