Two penalties by Bradford City captain James Vaughan earned a home win over Mansfield Town to extend their unbeaten run to six matches.
The result lifted Bradford into fourth place in the League Two table.
Bradford's first penalty came in the 13th minute after the visitors dominated the early stages, penning the home side in their own half with some enterprising attacking play.
Alex MacDonald fouled Matt Palmer after Dylan Connolly's right-wing cross had caused problems for the Mansfield defence and Bradford's skipper and leading scorer Vaughan put them in front from the spot.
Mansfield, without a win since the end of October, dominated much of the second half, but while they put the strong Bradford defence under pressure, they managed few direct efforts on target and the home side put the result beyond doubt with a second penalty in the 83rd minute.
Pacey winger Connolly was brought down by Matt Preston as he raced into the box in a rare Bradford attack and Vaughan stepped up to score his ninth goal of the season.
