Bradford claimed a first win under new boss Graham Alexander, beating Accrington 1-0 to end a run of four consecutive league losses.

Tyler Smith scored a well-taken goal in the second half at Valley Parade - his sixth in six games.

The first half was a cagey affair with few incidents of note as the sides cancelled each other out.

The best moment fell for Accrington after 16 minutes when Korede Adedoyin got in behind marker Matty Platt but his shot was blocked at the near post by Harry Lewis.

Bradford got into some promising positions without threatening the Accrington goal.

Jamie Walker should have done better when Andy Cook chested Ciaran Kelly's long pass into his path but fired well wide.

Centre-half Ash Taylor also should have hit the target with his header from Richie Smallwood's free-kick early in the second half.

But Bradford broke the deadlock after 58 minutes when Kelly's long pass picked out Smith to clip the ball over keeper Jon McCracken after Andy Cook had let the ball run through.
