Notts County 1 : 1 Bradford AFC - Magpies and Bantams share points
Posted Sunday, March 15, 2015 by PA
Jon Stead's 11th goal of the season was not enough to send Bradford into Monday night's FA Cup quarter-final replay at Reading with a valuable League One win as it ended 1-1 at Meadow Lane against Notts County.
The play-off chasing Bantams grabbed the lead in first-half injury time when Stead swept home from Francois Zoko's left-wing cross against their struggling hosts.
But Notts grabbed a share of the points in the 75th minute when Mike Edwards rose highest to power home a header from a corner.
The relegation-threatened Magpies had started well with Blair Adams missing an early chance and Garry Thompson's point-blank header booted off the line by Gary McKenzie.
But the visitors grew in confidence after Stead's opener and should have extended their lead when substitute James Hanson sparked a mighty goalmouth scramble in the 65th minute.
Zoko should have done better with a 70th minute header and Bradford would be made to pay for a series of missed chances when Edwards headed the equaliser past on-loan goalkeeper Jak Alnwick to secure a share of the points.
