Evans nets late double after Robertson opener

A late Gareth Evans brace saw Bradford beat Torquay 2-1 at Plainmoor to record their first win in seven games. Evans restored parity in the 83rd minute and then added a stoppage-time winner after United took a 15th minute lead through central defender Chris Robertson, who fired the Gulls ahead after Bradford failed to clear Danny Stevens' corner. At the end of the first half, United pressed for a second with Stevens smashing a shot on the run just wide. Bantams captain Simon Ramsden then cleared brilliantly off the line in the 77th minute to keep out Stevens' measured shot from 12 yards. Bradford's Omar Daley was denied by Michael Poke's point blank save but when the corner came across Evans hooked the ball home at the far post. His winner came when Torquay failed to deal with a searching Ramsden free-kick and he gleefully smashed past Poke.
