Burton Albion secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Bradford City in a match that appeared comfortable until the final moments. The Brewers took control through Alex Hartridge's 41st-minute opener and extended their advantage via Tolaji Shade's well-taken effort just before the hour mark. Manager made astute substitutions throughout, with Bradford responding by introducing fresh legs including Paul Mullin and Ethan Wheatley at the break. The visitors' persistence nearly paid off as substitute Tyreik Wright's stoppage-time strike set up a frantic finale, but Burton held firm despite late pressure and time-wasting tactics from goalkeeper Brad Collins to claim three vital League One points.
