Mansfield recorded only their third home League Two win of the season - and their first since 12 October - with a comfortable victory over Bradford.
The result ended a dismal run of one win in 13 in all competitions for the hosts and was also new manager Graham Coughlan's first clean sheet at the eighth attempt.
Mansfield were sitting pretty at half-time, 2-0 up after fine headed goals by Danny Rose and Nicky Maynard crowned a dominant first 45 minutes.
Rose headed home from Alex MacDonald's seventh-minute cross and - after Ryan Sweeney had poked a sitter wide from close range and Bantams keeper Luke McGee had superbly saved from a Krystian Pearce header - the Stags doubled the lead two minutes before the break.
Mal Benning sent in a corner from the right and Maynard was on hand to nod in his 13th goal of the season from close range.
After 63 minutes Bradford were awarded a free-kick seven yards from goal after Bobby Olejnik handled a backpass, but Eoin Doyle's shot was blocked.
Substitute Andy Cook made the points safe after 77 minutes, just three minutes after coming on, as he swept home a low 16-yard shot from Benning's throw from the left.
Mansfield climb to 18th place, eight points above the relegation zone, while Bradford remain in the play-off places but drop to seventh.
