Stevenage 2 Bradford City 1: Bantams edge close to the drop

Bradford City slipped closer to the unthinkable and relegation out of the Football League after a 2-1 defeat at Stevenage..

A John Mousinho penalty gave the hosts a first-half lead - after Steve Williams tripped Stacy Long - before David Syers equalised in the 72nd minute, converting Gareth Evans’s corner.

Darius Charles grabbed a winner for Stevenage late on, firing home from 12 yards.

Defeat, coupled with Barnet’s win at Burton, means the Bantams are just six points off the bottom two with eight games remaining.
