A first-half double from Alassana Jatta and a customary David McGoldrick goal ensured Notts County returned to winning ways with victory over Bradford City.
The first opportunity of the game fell to Jatta. Nick Tsaroulla was set free down the left-hand side and his floated cross was met by the head of the Gambian forward but his effort was turned behind for a corner.
Jatta was not to be denied 10 minutes later as Dan Crowley's trickery and low ball into the box found the Magpies' talisman at the back post for a tap-in.
The Magpies extended their lead three minutes later courtesy of McGoldrick. Jatta turned provider and McGoldrick blasted the ball beyond Sam Walker.
Jatta had his second a minute later, the forward tucking the ball home after being slipped in by McGoldrick.
The second half began in similar fashion with Jatta being denied a hat-trick courtesy of a superb stop from Walker.
McGoldrick then raced in and looked destined to grab a second of his own, but he was denied by the outstretched palm of Walker.
Bradford hit back with a chance of their own as Calum Kavanagh let fly from range, but his effort was saved smartly by Alex Bass.
