Carlisle United 1-0 Bradford City
- Published
Carlisle eased their relegation fears with a win over free-falling Bradford.
The Bantams, now without a win in 13 league games, went behind after their defence made a mess of clearing a corner and Lee Miller placed a skilful overhead kick into the net.
The hosts could have doubled their lead straight after half-time when David Amoo broke from the halfway line but lost control of the ball in the box.
Aaron McLean had chances to equalise but fired over and pulled a shot wide.

Carlisle United manager Graham Kavanagh told BBC Radio Cumbria:
"I felt proud, in the sense we've had a little bit of a difficult run. Picking the players up and coming up with a formula that was going to work tonight was difficult.
"Everything we did in the first half was about pressing the ball and keeping it away from our goal.
"In the second half, because of the position we are in in the league and because we were desperate for the win, we dropped and dropped and dropped a little bit deeper.
"I wasn't particularly pleased with that, but it was important we got over the line and I'm really pleased with that. It's another start and hopefully it's the start of another run."
