Having been under pressure for long periods and fallen behind to Craig Dawson's goal, late strikes from Michael Flynn and Neilson handed Stuart McCall's men victory.[LNB]The hosts had the better of the first half, with Simon Eastwood saving Joe Thompson's header while Chris Dagnall struck the bar from close range.[LNB]Dale took the lead in the 58th minute when a free-kick from Adam Rundle was partially cleared, but when Jason Kennedy worked the ball back into the box, defender Dawson fired home.[LNB]The Bantams drew level in the 73rd minute when Flynn crashed home a 25-yard free-kick, with goalkeeper Kenny Arthur getting a hand to the ball but being unable to keep out the powerfully driven set-piece. Flynn almost added a second soon after, his long-range effort hitting the post as the momentum swung Bradford's way.[LNB]The winning goal was credited to Neilson, though his 20-yard drive took a decisive deflection off Marcus Holness, before looping high into the air and over the helpless Arthur 11 minutes from the end.[LNB][LNB]
