Crewe 0-1 Bradford: Proctor strike enough for Bradford
Monday 28 March 2016 18:53, UK
Jamie Proctor's second-half strike kept Bradford in the League One play-off places following a 1-0 win at basement side Crewe.
The striker punished a mistake by defender George Ray to fire home in the 50th minute, with the victory moving Phil Parkinson's side up to fifth.
Teenager Callum Ainley was impressive on his first start for Crewe, who started well. Lauri Dalla Valle seized on a miscontrol from Chris Routis and drilled a shot a yard past the post.
But Bradford turned the screw and Billy Clarke went close with a glancing header from Tony McMahon's cross.
Crewe had two let-offs in the space of a couple of first-half minutes.
