BRADFORD CITY AFC

Law swooped to fire home seven minutes into the break to cancel out Scott Burgess' well-taken opener for the visitors before the break.

The midfielder netted his third goal of the season when he pounced on the rebound to score after Bury shot-stopper Rob Lainton had repelled a Jordy Hiwula shot.

City's best chance of the first period ahead of Burgess' goal came midway through the half when James Hanson's downward header was repelled by a fine low save from Lainton.

Hiwula had also seen a close range effort blocked out for the Bantams barely seconds before Bury broke the deadlock.

In truth, City were far from their best in the opening period but they improved after the restart to dominate proceedings thereafter.

Following Law's equaliser, City pushed hard for a winner, especially in the game's latter stages.

Hanson glanced a header wide from a Matthew Kilgallon cross, while substitute Marc McNulty twice went close himself but McCall's men couldn't quite find that all-important second goal to force the win.

27min: Callum Styles' ball from deep has Miller interested as the young Bury attacker runs in behind City's defences. Doyle has to sprint to the edge of his own box, robbing the Bury player of possession in the process to clear the danger.

26min: Hanson is denied by a cracking save from Lainton! After being picked out via Hiwula's cross into the middle, Hanson's downward header looks set to find the bottom corner but Lainton thrusts out a hand to make a fine reaction save low to his right to put the ball behind for a corner.

24min: The ball twice breaks out into the path of Devine inside the Bury penalty box but both times he isn't quite able to get a clear shot away. Bury counter-attack seconds later through Hope but Knight-Percival does just enough to hold him up before Kilgallon clears.
