Jonathan Forte scored his 11th of the season as in-form Oldham beat Bradford.

Jabo Ibehre headed down a Joseph Mills cross for Forte to finish, before Mike Jones's deflected strike from 20 yards made it 2-0 after 24 minutes.

On-loan winger Andy Halliday volleyed his first goal for Bradford from James Hanson's header just before the break.

Alan Sheehan's stinging shot was pushed away by Latics keeper Paul Rachubka as City pushed for an equaliser but they had Rory McCardle dismissed late on.

Oldham manager Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Manchester:

"It was a tough game full of endeavour. Some good football was played.

"I felt we made it difficult for ourselves by not finishing some good chances that we had and then we gave them a lifeline with a poor goal on our part, but a good goal on their part.

"It was a topsy-turvy end to end passionate League One tie and I was just delighted to come out on the right end of it."
