Bradford reach Carabao Cup quarter-finals

Bradford City beat Peterborough United 2-0 at Valley Parade in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. With this win, the Bantams reached the cup quarter-finals for the first time since the season they got to Wembley in 2013.

Macaulay Gillesphey scored the first goal in the 13th minute. Following a call from head coach Michael Duff for more effectiveness from set pieces, central defender Gillesphey directed Callum Connolly's corner into the net.

Adam Phillips scored the second goal in the 67th minute. Phillips also had a shot cleared off the line in the same spell and could not celebrate a goal. Peterborough goalkeeper Alex Bass prevented several Bradford chances during the match.

Peterborough played more effectively in the second half. Jon McCracken saved Owura Edwards' shot and made a good intervention when Vernon Masara was through on goal. Ethan Williams' shot off the crossbar was the closest the visitors came to scoring.
