Queens Park Rangers gained a historic first-ever league win at Valley Parade,
deservedly beating Bradford City with three second-half goals.
Their victory ended Bradford's eight-match unbeaten home run and there could
be no complaints as the visitors were the better side throughout.
They were unfortunate not to be ahead at half-time after creating most of the
chances, but took control with two goals in four minutes early in the second
half.
Gavin Peacock put them ahead on 49 minutes when he drove the ball hard and low
through a crowded goalmouth after Bradford failed to clear Ian Barraclough's
corner.
Kevin Gallen scored a second four minutes later, racing on to a long clearance
and holding off a challenge from defender Andrew O'Brien before firing low into
the far corner.
Bradford striker Lee Mills had a superb 25-yard shot saved by Ludek Miklosko
before Rangers put the result beyond doubt with their third goal on 72 minutes.
Gallen took the ball off defender Wayne Jacobs and passed inside for Mike
Sheron to sidefoot the ball into an empty net.
