Swindon Town 2-1 Bradford City

Swindon Town put their automatic promotion bid back on track with a win over play-off hopefuls Bradford.

Town had lost their last three games, but Massimo Luongo hammered in a first goal off the post and then converted Andy Williams's cut-back.

Williams also struck the woodwork in a first half dominated by the hosts.

And even though Billy Clarke put away a loose ball with Bradford's first shot on target, Swindon closed the gap on second-placed MK Dons to two points.

Australian Luongo thought he had a hat-trick, but his rasping effort in the second half was superbly saved by Jordan Pickford.

The Bantams caused a late scare when Gary Liddle's header hit the bar, but a foul was given against the visitors, and Phil Parkinson's side remain sixth.

Swindon manager Mark Cooper told BBC Wiltshire:

"We needed to get back on track and the three points was the most important thing.

"We were outstanding in the first half. Some of the football was incredible and the game should have been out of sight.

"We were a little bit wasteful in front of goal and we could have been sitting comfortably at half-time.

"I think the players realised they made it far too open in the second half."
