Goals from Bradley Dack, Rory Donnelly and Doug Loft saw high-flying Gillingham beat mid-table Bradford.
The home side seized the lead within four minutes as Dack found the bottom-left corner from 20-yards before setting Donnelly up for a smart finish from a tight angle to double the lead.
Loft swept in Ryan Jackson's cross for the Gills' third late on.
Bantams substitute Nathan Clarke was then shown a red card for hauling down Elliot List as the last man.
