James Tilley’s decisive first-half header inspired AFC Wimbledon to a 1-0 win over promotion rivals Bradford at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
Matty Stevens had a great chance to open the scoring in the 12th minute after being found in space in the box, but his effort did not have the power to beat Bradford goalkeeper Sam Walker.
It was 1-0 just one minute later though when Tilley headed Jake Reeves' delightful delivery in at the far post.
