GARETH EVANS scored twice to inflict a morale-sapping defeat on 10-man Northampton.

Town needed the points to propel themselves into the top seven and went close early on when Ryan Gilligan tested Jon McLaughlin.

Peter Taylor’s team struggled but they took a shock lead thanks to Evans, who unleashed a superb volley into the top corner.

And the Cobblers were left reeling when Dean Beckwith saw red for a foul on Leon Osborne.

Bradford looked the more likely to score with the extra man. Evans doubled the lead late on with another volley on a day which marked the 25th anniversary of the Valley Parade fire which claimed the lives of 56 people.
