Bradford climbed up to fourth in League One as goals from Jason Kennedy and James Hanson sunk Rochdale.

The Bantams headed into the match buoyed by a 2-1 League Cup win over Championship Leeds but were frustrated at Spotland until the 60th minute.

It was former Rochdale midfielder Kennedy who opened the scoring, firing home a low volley from a knockdown.

Six minutes later, Hanson, who netted the winner against Leeds in midweek, headed in from an Alan Sheehan corner.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:

"The game could have gone either way. When the game was at the breaking point, we conceded. It's as simple as that.

"Jason Kennedy's been absolutely marvellous for Rochdale and it looks as though he's started the season brightly for Bradford. I wish him all the best.

"We've got to stick to the plan, we've got to back ourselves, we've got to be brave and hopefully the corner will turn."
