Bolton secured a play-off place with a 1-1 draw at Bradford, who still need a point to make sure they join them.

The visitors went close to the opening goal after eight minutes, with Amario Cozier-Duberry's cross-shot pinging off the bar before the winger headed wide from Ibrahim Cissoko's centre.

Bradford responded with Josh Neufville cutting a ball back to Jenson Metcalfe, whose low shot was cleared off the line.

Home goalkeeper Sam Walker stretched to tip over a deflected shot from Cissoko as the game continued at a fast pace.

Bolton were denied again early in the second half when Johnny Kenny's goal-bound header was brilliantly turned behind by Ibou Touray on his own line.

Walker pushed away Josh Sheehan's free-kick and then saved from Kenny as Bolton looked the more likely to break the deadlock.

The visitors got their reward after 72 minutes as Mason Burstow cleverly flicked on a long ball for Kenny to rifle into the top corner.

But Bradford equalised eight minutes later, with Kayden Jackson volleying home from the edge of the box.
