Peterborough United 0 - 4 Bradford AFC: Hanson on song as Bantams beat Posh
Posted Sunday, February 14, 2016 by PA
It was a memorable day for Bradford as they swept to a first-ever success at Peterborough when claiming a 3-0 win.
The Bantams had failed to triumph in all 15 previous visits to the ABAX Stadium, but the long wait for glory came to an emphatic end as Posh suffered their heaviest home defeat for more than five years.
James Hanson marked his 300th appearance for Bradford with a brace of headers.
Hanson broke the deadlock when converting Kyel Reid's cross in the final minute of the first half before the provider doubled the advantage with a smart finish 11 minutes after the break.
Hanson struck again when glancing in James Meredith's glorious 68th-minute cross and substitute Steven Davies continued the torment eight minutes later when guiding in a Tony McMahon assist.
It might have been very different had Posh pair Adil Nabi and Jon Taylor not been denied by goalkeeper Ben Williams' fine save and a brilliant Stephen Darby block early in the second half.
Williams also produced a fantastic last-minute save from a Nabi free-kick to preserve his clean sheet.
