Shrewsbury and Bradford set for replay after New Meadow draw
Posted Sunday, November 10, 2019 by PA
Bradford City, flying high in League Two, will have home advantage for an FA Cup first round replay after a 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury.
Aramide Oteh gave Bradford the lead before Josh Laurent soon equalised for Shrewsbury, who are 11th in League One.
Bradford moved ahead in the 19th minute as Oteh intercepted an attempted header back to his goalkeeper by Aaron Pierre and confidently beat Joe Murphy.
Shrewsbury were back on level terms within nine minutes as Shaun Whalley’s cross from the right was headed down by Scott Golbourne and Laurent swept an equaliser past goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell.
Laurent saw a shot from 20 yards deflected narrowly wide before Sean Goss tested O’Donnell from a similar distance.
Bradford’s Danny Devine then fired a volley goalwards which was well dealt with by Murphy.
The visitors had a good chance early in the second half when Dylan Connolly was sent clear but placed his effort wide as Murphy came out.
Ollie Norburn then drove a shot wide for Shrewsbury before Fejiri Okenabirhie lifted a shot over the bar.
Bradford were close to regaining the lead when Ben Richards-Everton headed against a post as it remained level.
