Burton Albion 1 Bradford City 3

City win 5-4 on aggregate

City will return to Wembley later this month after overturning a first-leg deficit to beat Burton in the npower League Two play-off semi-finals.

The Capital One Cup finalists, 3-2 down from Thursday’s game at Valley Parade, recorded their first ever win at the Pirelli Stadium courtesy of Nahki Wells’ double either side of James Hanson’s goal.

Jacques Maghoma levelled up the tie from the penalty spot but Burton could not get themselves back on terms again after Wells had struck his 25th goal of the season - and his fifth against Albion this campaign.

The visitors opened the scoring after 27 minutes from a Burton attack.

Jon McLaughlin made a routine save from McCrory’s free-kick and quickly distributed the ball to James Meredith, who knocked it long.

Albion centre-half Marcus Holness tried to head back to his goalkeeper but did not get enough on it and Wells nipped in to poke past Stuart Tomlinson.

Hanson put City ahead on aggregate for the first time after 50 minutes.

Wells’ persistence enabled him to poke the ball into the path of Hanson and the big striker drilled a right-foot shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net from 20 yards out.

However, five minutes later the hosts levelled up the tie with Jacques Maghoma's penalty after a foul by Garry Thompson.

But Burton were level for only two minutes as Hanson set up Wells to spin and score his second of the game.

City survived some late Burton pressure and will return to Wembley for the final on May 18 where they will play Northampton.
