DELIGHTED Phil Parkinson hailed “a moment of pure quality” after in-form City bagged their fifth win in six games.

Billy Clarke’s sensational second-half strike earned them a 1-0 win at Chesterfield – a result that moves the Bantams to within a point of the League One play-off places.

Parkinson said: “It was a moment of pure quality that was fitting to win any game of football.”

The home side had to play the last 42 minutes down to ten men after skipper Sam Morsy was sent off for elbowing Andy Halliday. The City chief had no sympathy for the Spireites midfielder.

He added: “The lad flung his elbow in Andy’s face and they are the sort of challenges that can break a cheekbone. Andy’s got a shiner but he’s okay – but it was dangerous.

“The lad has lost his discipline and ultimately it’s cost them the game.”
