Home success for impressive Burton

BURTON Albion did the double over Bradford City in a stunning performance at the Pirelli.

Alex Hartridge and Tyrese Shade were the goalscoring heroes with a late consolation from Tyreik Wright the only blot on the Brewers’ copybook.

But that will do nothing to dampen spirits. At this stage of the season with games running out, to beat a team fourth in League One in style cannot and should not be underestimated.

A real statement performance at just the right time and the perfect way to bounce back from Tuesday night's disappointment when they pushed another top team, Reading, all the way.

Gary Bowyer made two changes and both were in the midfield with one enforced. Andy Cannon came back in for JJ McKiernan while, fresh off passing his driving test, Sulyman Krubally was in for Kegs Chauke, who came off injured against Reading and was not even on the bench. Charlie Webster was not yet ready to make the squad.
