Bradford City manager Graham Alexander says his players deserve "10 out of 10" for the character they showed in coming back to draw 2-2 with Rotherham United on Thursday night.

The Bantams fell two goals down just after half-time but goals from Antoni Sarcevic and Alex Pattison salvaged a point.

The result moves Bradford two points clear at the top of League One, albeit having played two games more than second-placed Stevenage.

"I'm really pleased the players found a way back from two goals down, away from home," Alexander told BBC Radio Leeds.

"But I'm really frustrated we found ourselves two goals down in a game where we had by far the better chances.

"Sometimes we have to look at our performance, but for character, persistence, never giving in, my players deserve 10 out of 10.

"It can be difficult two goals down, but we certainly deserved at least a point."
