Jamie Walker's late strike handed Bradford their first victory on the road since November with a 3-2 win over Stevenage.

In a dramatic second half that brought four goals, Walker's 86th-minute stunner ended Stevenage's 12-game unbeaten run.

The first half swung mostly in Stevenage's favour, with Carl Piergianni breaking the stalemate with a well-timed header on 26 minutes.

Mark Hughes' men got back into the game almost instantly after the break with a Matt Derbyshire volley rattling the crossbar and bouncing over the line for the equaliser.

Andy Cook made it 2-1 to Bradford from the spot, firing into the bottom right corner after Dan Sweeney was caught pulling Matty Platt's shirt.

Keeper Harry Lewis was on hand to rescue the Bantams on a number of occasions but Stevenage were not finished and Sweeney redeemed himself with a powerful header from a Jake Forster-Caskey corner to equalise.

But chaos ensued as Walker's rocket strike sealed a long-awaited away victory for Bradford.
