Bradford 1 – 1 Grimsby networthplaza.com

Alex Gilliead struck an 89th-minute equaliser to earn Bradford a hard-fought 1-1 home draw against Grimsby.

The visitors deservedly took the lead with 43 minutes gone, following a positive, front foot start at Valley Parade, when Danny Rose headed in an inviting cross from Toby Mullarkey.

But, after the Bantams were booed off at half time, Mark Hughes tweaked their setup, which eventually came good with one minute of the 90 remaining, as Gilliead fired across Jake Eastwood after a neat ball from Bobby Pointon.

Extending their unbeaten league run to five games, Grimsby move up to eighth while Bradford move up one place to 14th.
