Exeter came from behind to overcome Bradford with an entertaining 3-2 win in Sky Bet League Two at St James Park.
The Grecians made a promising start to the game with Jack Sparkes seeing a header blocked on the line, but Bradford went in front after 17 minutes when they countered quickly.
Callum Cooke saw his shot blocked on the line and debutant Charles Vernam was free to tap in the rebound.
Exeter were struggling to test the Bradford goalkeeper, but they managed to draw level in the 42nd minute when Pierce Sweeney headed in at the back post from an in-swinging Sparkes corner.
CAMBRIDGE boss Mark Bonner will celebrate one year in the job on Friday. Initially promoted as a temporary measure to fill the hot-seat after Colin Calderwood’s sacking, the former academy manager was not expected to be in charge for long as the club assessed their next step. But Bonner brought about an immediate turnaround in interim charge, winning his first four games including one against Stuart McCall’s City, and made up their minds for them. He became one of the youngest bosses in the EFL and is now leading the U’s on a promotion charge. Could this be the blueprint that the Bantams might yet follow?
Callum Cooke is thwarted by Cambridge skipper Greg Taylor in today s draw. Picture: Thomas Gadd MARK Trueman was scratching his head over how Gareth Evans had not won it for City at leaders Cambridge today. Evans thought he had scored his first goal since returning to the club in the second half at the Abbey Stadium. But his shot hit the inside of one post, rolled along the line to hit the other and then came back before Cambridge could clear. Trueman said: “We all thought it was in as soon as it left Evo’s foot. But the momentum of the ball changed and somehow it didn’t go in.
