Billy Clarke has netted 10 goals this season.

Billy Clarke scored twice as Bradford City leapfrogged fellow League One play-off hopefuls Oldham Athletic.

The two sides were evenly matched in the first half, but Clarke broke the deadlock on 71 minutes.

Gary MacKenzie and James Hanson combined to head the ball on for Clarke to add the finishing touch with a back-heel from close range.

Clarke then put the result beyond doubt in injury time with a low shot from 15 yards after a lay-off from Jon Stead.

Bradford sit in 10th place, two points off the play-off spot, while Oldham are 13th.

Oldham manager Dean Holden told BBC Radio Manchester:

Holden on Bradford v Oldham

"It's a tough afternoon when you come here, you know how Bradford are going to play.

"They bang balls from back to front all day long into your box and you've got to be able to defend for 90 minutes and unfortunately we weren't able to do that."

"We were chasing the game. We've changed the system three times in the game to try to get more up there and try to scramble our way back into it.

"The disappointing thing is the way we conceded."
