Grimsby extended their record-breaking run without a league win to 20 games as they were convincingly beaten at home to 10-man Bradford.

Omar Daley got the opener with a right-foot shot into the roof of the net before the Bantams lost Matt Clarke to a professional foul after 12 minutes.

Michael Boulding pounced on a loose ball to make it 2-0 and Graeme Lee headed in a Paul McLaren corner.

Grimsby got a consolation when Liam Trotter headed home at the back post.
