Bantams make it three in a row
Bradford stunned high-flying Shrewsbury 3-1 to secure their third consecutive win in npower League Two.
The Bantams cruised past their fourth-placed guests with goals from James Hanson, Nahki Wells and Craig Fagan to extend their unbeaten league run to five matches.
The Shrews grabbed a late consolation through Marvin Morgan, his ninth of the season, after Bradford had David Syers sent off for a professional foul, but the hosts were comfortable in victory.
Hanson handed the west Yorkshire outfit the lead after 24 minutes. The striker rose highest to nod Andrew Davies` cross beyond Chris Neal in the Shrews` goal to register his ninth goal of the campaign.
And the home side doubled their lead five minutes later when Bermudan international Wells buried the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net with a left-footed shot from the edge of the area.
Fagan`s 12-yard volley effectively killed the game off four minutes after half-time and, although Syers received his marching orders with 20 minutes remaining following a foul on Nicky Wroe, all Shrewsbury could muster with the man advantage was Morgan`s volleyed effort after 78 minutes.
