Bradford City and Notts County played out a 1-1 draw in a lively Sky Bet League Two encounter at Valley Parade, leaving both sides frustrated in their promotion push.

Ciaran Kelly opened the scoring for the Bantams with a header from Brandon Khela’s free-kick in the 53rd minute, but David McGoldrick’s superb 70th-minute strike—curling into the top corner after cutting inside—earned County a point.

The first half saw chances at both ends, with Alex Pattison firing over for Bradford and Antoni Sarcevic going close, while McGoldrick forced Sam Walker into action with a long-range effort.

Sam Slocombe denied Bobby Pointon as the hosts pressed, and Neill Byrne nearly converted from a corner.

McGoldrick almost snatched a winner late on, but Walker held his left-footed attempt to ensure the points were shared.
