Huddersfield Town have been drawn at home to Bradford City in the second round of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy at the beginning of next month.

The draw also presented another derby encounter with Rotherham United down to entertain Sheffield United.

On the pitch, the Bantams fell behind on 57 minutes when Izak Reid fired home for the hosts.

And it looked like being a miserable afternoon for City until Jack Compton set up Sheffield-born Ross Hannah - a second-half substitute - who netted in the third minute of stoppage time.
