The defeat leaves the Bantams at the foot of League One, six points from safety with seven games remaining.

They were no match for the rampant Tangarines who swept into a 24th-minute lead through Gnanduillet.

Virtue-Thick added a second shortly after the break before Gnanduillet grabbed his second and then Taylor completed the win with 10 minutes remaining.

David Ball scored a consolation for City in injury time but since winning his first game in charge, manager Gary Bowyer has now lost three straight games.
