Pointon (above) scored the first two and claimed a touch on the third - initially given to Josh Neufville. Zep Redmond replied.

Alexander said: ‘Josh was superb again but Bobby got in there and he said it came off him.

“For a Bradford-born boy in his first derby, this day will be remembered for a long time.”

CARDIFF boss Brian Barry-Murphy was delighted with his side's character after Yousef Salech’s stoppage-time header earned a 1-1 draw at STOCKPORT.

Stockport led through Oliver Norwood's 34th-minute penalty.
