Bradford ended their run of nine games without a win with a comprehensive victory at home to Rotherham.

Leading scorer Peter Thorne gave them the lead in the 12th minute, diverting home Dean Furman's shot - although the visitors claimed he was offside.

Thorne added a second after 32 minutes, sweeping Nicky Law's cross into the net for his 17th of the season.

Steve Jones then put the result beyond doubt, beating Andy Warrington after a pass from Joe Colbeck.
