Bradford United remain unbeaten at home after defeating Calne Eagles 4-2.

Bradford took the lead after only five minutes when a mix-up between centre back Roy Wenham and goalkeeper Andy Windsor let in Jamal Ayoub for an easy tap-in.

Calne Eagles hit back instantly through a Jamie Davies penalty, after Shaun Jefferies was pushed inside the box.

The frantic start continued, when Skip Ayoub got away from Ian Wilkinson and slipped his shot past the advancing Andy Windsor. Calne Eagles hit back once more when impressive play from Brett Cullen set up Shaun Jefferies for a tap-in from close range.

In the closing stages of the half a free kick into Calne's box was not properly cleared and Keagan Smart put Bradford 3-2 up with a sharp finish.

Bradford completed the scoring early in the second half when Skip Ayoub scored his second goal from a corner and from then on they took control of the game and claimed all three points.
