    Bradford continue winning streak in League Two

    Bradford extended their winning streak to four consecutive victories in League Two with a 3-1 comeback win against Doncaster.

    After Joe Ironside provided an early lead for Doncaster, Bradford responded with goals from Andy Cook (brace) and Tyler Smith.

    Cook scored his first with a header from a corner, and Smith put Bradford ahead with a fine curling effort.

    In the second half, chances were limited, but Cook sealed the victory in the 85th minute with a goal from an Alex Gilliead cross.

    The win marked another positive result for Bradford as they continued their resurgence in League Two.
