Law and Jones goals earn Bantams vital three points

Second-half goals from Nicky Law and Steve Jones helped Bradford beat 10-man Grimsby 2-0 and end a four-match run without a win. The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Robert Atkinson was sent off for a foul on Michael Boulding after 20 minutes, but promotion-chasing Bradford struggled to take advantage despite dominating the play. Grimsby goalkeeper Phil Barnes made superb saves to deny Jones Boulding and Jones, who also hit the post in a one-sided first half. It was a similar story after the interval, but Law broke the deadlock after 75 minutes with a low right-footed shot. Jones put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time when he beat Barnes after receiving a pass from substitute Joe Colbeck. The result lifted Stuart McCall's side up to seventh in the table, while Grimsby remain third from bottom.
