Cheltenham Town suffered their heaviest defeat of the League Two season so far, going down 3-0 at title chasing Bradford City on.
Bradford City: S Walker; Baldwin, Byrne, Shepherd; Halliday, Smallwood, Adaramola (Huntington 77); J Walker (Oduor 77), Khela; Lapslie (Leigh 68), Mellon (Kavanagh 68). Subs not used: Hilton, Benn, Crichlow
George Lapslie netted the first two goals on his full debut for the Bantams. His first was a header in the 31st minute after good play from Tayo Adaramola on the left and the second arrived eight minutes into the second half after Michael Mellon’s pass.
Burnley loanee Mellon added the third goal on the hour after good work from Jamie Walker, putting the result beyond all doubt.
It was Bradford’s 10th successive home victory, setting a club record, and they are now just two points behind leaders Walsall.
