Forte and Facey score for Magpies, Thorne nets late consolation for Bantams

Jonathan Forte and Delroy Facey put a dent in Bradford's promotion hopes as Notts County secured a 3-1 win. First Forte finished off a rapid counter attacking move to give his side an 11th-minute lead. He then added a second in the 31st minute when he chested down a Myles Weston cross before turning and smashing home. Weston was the provider again in first-half injury time as his low cross ricocheted into the path of Facey, who gladly tapped in his seventh goal of the season. Bradford had been beaten 4-1 at Barnet in their last game and were booed off, with Peter Thorne's first goal since November offering little consolation five minutes from time.
