Ben Knight (right) scored his third goal of the season as Cambridge United won at Bradford City
Substitute Ben Knight struck a late winner as Cambridge United beat Bradford City 2-1 at Valley Parade.
Cambridge were grateful to goalkeeper Jake Eastwood for keeping them level in the first half.
Eastwood pulled off a superb reflex save to keep out Jake Beesley's header from a Bobby Pointon cross. He then spread himself to deny Beesley again after a mistake by Zak Bradshaw.
Eastwood was almost beaten by a deflected Adam Phillips cross just before half-time but he managed to recover enough to touch it against a post.
Cambridge were gifted a chance to start the second half when Jon McCracken scuffed a clearance straight to Sullay Kaikai. But the winger could not find the target with his first-time shot from distance.
Cambridge struck against the run of play after 58 minutes, Kaikai latching on to Eastwood's goal kick to prod past McCracken.
Bradford levelled in the 77th minute through Pointon after Nick Powell's header hit the bar.
But Cambridge notched what proved to be the decisive goal after 88 minutes with Knight slotting home following good work from Louis Appere.
