Bradford City came from behind to defeat the Imps at Sincil Bank on Friday evening following a pulsating Coca-Cola League 2 game between the two sides.

The Imps took the lead in the 26th minute when Louis Dodds rifled through a crowd of players; his shot going over the line before it was blocked by a Bradford defender but within nine minutes the Bantams were level after the lively Omar Daley outstripped Ryan Amoo to set up Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu.

The second period was just as exciting as the first with Lee Frecklington rattling the woodwork with a 25 yard volley midway through the half but it was left to winger Joe Colbeck to secure the points in the 79th minute for the Bantams when he latched on to a through ball from Ndumbu-Nsungu before slotting under the body of Alan Marriott.
