Barrow 1-0 Bradford City

  • Published

Connor Brown scored his first goal for a year as Barrow beat 10-man Bradford.

After ending their 48-year wait for a Football League win with victory at Mansfield on Tuesday, David Dunn's side backed it up to pick up a second successive win.

Victory also ended a five-game winless home run for Barrow, who were without Josh Kay after he tested positive for coronavirus.

Brown scored the only goal of the game after 18 minutes when he fired into the bottom corner - his first strike since a 4-2 defeat to Torquay in the National League last October.

Bradford's task was made even more difficult when Levi Sutton was given a straight red card for a lunge on Jason Taylor eight minutes before half-time.

Bantams goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell pulled off a string of fine saves to keep the hosts at bay, including parrying away an effort from Bluebirds striker Dior Angus.

Bradford's best chance fell to Clayton Donaldson but he dragged his effort wide of the mark while Joel Dixon easily held Dylan Mottley-Henry's effort with the visitors' final opportunity to salvage a point.
