Bradford City 2-2 Rochdale

Joe Bunney has scored four goals in 21 appearances for Rochdale this season

Two goals from striker Joe Bunney helped Rochdale earn a point at play-off chasing Bradford in League One.

Bunney gave the visitors the lead when he headed Joe Rafferty's cross beyond City keeper Ben Williams.

Tony McMahon crossed for Rory McArdle to stab in Bradford's equaliser, but Bunney restored Rochdale's lead with a shot from just outside the area.

Hill on Bradford v Rochdale

"I thought the performance was good, it was more like the way we play.

"It gives me a lot of belief looking at the last 15 games because we were excellent today.

"We scored two really good goals and for the majority of the game we defended exceptionally well.

"We created opportunities, so from the performance perspective, I'm really pleased, but I'm disappointed with the result."
