Brentford edge past Bradford City

Brentford react well after a frustrating first half to beat Bradford City 2-0 in League One.

Brentford have kept their League One title hopes alive with a 2-0 win at home to Bradford City.

The hosts dominated possession during a frustrating first half, before second-half goals from Clayton Donaldson and George Saville secured the three points.

Donaldson and Saville had the best chances of the opening exchanges before Carl McHugh went close for the visitors.

After the break though, Brentford were a different team. They poured forward with more authority and got their reward 15 minutes in, when Donaldson found space on the edge of the box and fired the ball into the bottom corner.

It should have been two shortly afterwards, but the goalscorer could not get his header on target after good work from Marcello Trotta.

Trotta than had a good effort of his own saved before Saville doubled the home side's lead, making up for his first-half miss with a powerful effort from the middle of the box.

Brentford took the opportunity to rest a few players as the match drew to a close and were able to see the game out comfortably.
