Bradford are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the first time since they reached Wembley in 2013 with a 2-0 win over Peterborough.<\/p>\n
Goals from Macaulay Gillesphey and Adam Phillips settled the all-League One affair at Valley Parade.<\/p>\n
Brandon Khela drove wide from an early Peterborough chance but it was Bradford who took the lead on 13 minutes.<\/p>\n
Manager Michael Duff had called for his side to be more productive from corners and they obliged when Callum Connolly’s set-piece was turned in by defender Gillesphey.<\/p>\n
Reece Welch’s long pass sent Jake Beesley away but Peterborough ‘keeper Alex Bass denied Bobby Pointon a second goal with a sprawling save.<\/p>\n
Bass saved again from Ibou Touray’s low shot before Ethan Williams offered a threat at the other end just before the break.<\/p>\n
Peterborough came out strongly and Jon McCracken saved from Owura Edwards and then denied Vernon Masara in a one-on-one. Williams went even closer when he hit the bar.<\/p>\n
But Phillips scored a second for Bradford on 67 minutes and had another cleared off the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bradford are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the first time since they reached Wembley in 2013…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-816198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
