BRADFORD CITY AFC

Fighting for a home tie with York City in the Area Quarter-Finals, City took the lead of the rearranged tie midway through the first period thanks to Billy Knott's well-taken strike from just inside the box.

Barnsley equalised on eve of the interval, however, when Marley Watkins swooped to glance home a header from Conor Hourihane's wide free-kick delivery.

Hourihane was on hand to assist with the Tykes winning goal after the break as well, Barnsley skipper Alfie Mawson this time the man to profit when he powered in a header from another free-kick set-piece roughly twenty minutes from the end.

60min: Marshall shows great desire to get into the box and get his header onto Darby's cross into the box. His header isn't completely a clean one, however, and Barnsley can clear their lines before a nearby Hanson can look to pounce.

35min: Shortly after James Hanson receives treatment for a knock to his ankle, Clarke and Harris need time with the physios following a clash of heads. All three are able to carry on, however.

26min: Marshall's low cross towards the six yard box looks to find Luke James lurking but Marc Roberts slides in to put the ball behind for a corner.
