Bradford City 2, Burnley 0: Andy Gray headed off for Scotland today leaving behind him a job well done.

Gray's 14th City goal of the season drew the line under their battle for First Division survival.

Gray struck in the final minute at Turf Moor with a poacher's finish to wrap up the seventh away win and send City soaring three places to 15th.

It was an appropriate way to sign off a day which had began with a late, late call-up into the Scottish squad for the Euro 2004 qualifiers with Iceland and Lithuania.

He said: "That's more or less guaranteed First Division football next year. It was a great performance and a good way for me to celebrate.

"It's great to be called up, but whether I'm involved or not for Scotland on Saturday, I'll still be looking for our result at Norwich."

Berti Vogts should try scrutinising Claus Jorgensen's family tree to see if he can find any Scottish roots in the Dane's ancestry. After all, It seems that Gray and Jorgensen are joined at the hip as a goal-scoring double act.

Jorgensen kept up his incredible streak with a 17th-minute opener, making it seven league away games in a row in which he has hit the net and earning his place in the club record books.

It was also the sixth time that Gray and Jorgensen have shared the scoresheet, and that's all from Boxing Day.

The double act began against Stoke in what was seen at that time as a relegation six-pointer. But there are no more fears on that score after City notched up their fourth away win in five.

Yet even allowing for the fact that Turf Moor is a traditionally happy hunting ground - City are now unbeaten in eight on the Clarets' turf - few would have seen this coming after the abject display against Reading.

With few options to alter things, Nicky Law had to send out pretty much the same side that surrendered so meekly.

Only Jamie Lawrence dipped out on Jamaican duty, opening the door for Ben Muirhead to make a first start.

The 20-year-old grabbed his chance eagerly and used his pace on the right flank to great effect.

But it was a night when everyone did their bit to put the record straight.

Law said: "It was the complete opposite of Saturday. The players knew they had let themselves down but we more than made up for it.

"We said 50 points would do it. We are on 49 now and with seven games left you'd think we can pick up a few more and creep up the table a little bit."

The City boss played musical chairs once again at the back as Mark Bower returned to the centre and Simon Francis shifted to the left.

It was yet another new role for Francis, who had struggled in the middle with Reading's livewire Nicky Forster, but the 17-year-old was back to his calculating best.

Even on his 'wrong' side he was full of confidence and eager to get on the ball.

With Bower and David Wetherall giving as good as they got with Burnley bean-pole Gareth Taylor there was a solidity about the Bantam backline that had been absent three days earlier.

But City's recovery from the Reading flop was best highlighted by Danny Forrest. Three centre halves tried to stop him, by fair means or foul, but the young striker was always a real handful - even a niggly head butt from Arthur Gnohere couldn't knock him out of his stride.

Frenchman Gnohere, a sub for the injured Drissa Diallo got his comeuppance with a red card after one trip too many on Forrest.

It was the 15th sending-off in a City game this season.

City, having won five corners in the first 13 minutes, iced their fast start four minutes later when Jorgensen headed home a Gus Uhlenbeek cross despite the best efforts on the line of Diallo.

It was all City for most of the half and Gray should have doubled the lead when found unmarked by Forrest but he delayed fractionally allowing Lee Briscoe to block.

Aidan Davison saved well from Gnohere's header but City should have had a penalty right on half-time when the centre half hauled back Forrest.

Robbie Blake was unleashed on his old club for the second half and quickly made an impression, seemingly setting up an equaliser for Ian Moore. But the celebrations were strangled by a contentious offside flag.

Stan Ternent was hopping mad and confronted official Colin Webster afterwards. Law just smiled and said: "After I got up off the floor from the shock I agreed with the linesman."
