BRADFORD CITY 2 (Sharry, Topp)
BARNSLEY 3 (Bennett 2, Fearnehough)

YOUNGSTER Steven Bennett grabbed a first half brace as the Reds twice came from behind to beat Bradford City at the Coral Windows Stadium.

City were in front on 23 minutes when Luke Sharry managed to barge his way past a couple of challenges and shoot and his strike took a deflection before creeping past Kyle Letheren.

Bennett was on hand two minutes later to level the game after great play by Alistair Taylor. Bennett was on hand in the area to turn the ball past Jon McLaughlin.

Bradford were back in front on the half hour through a moment of magic by Chilean Willy Topp. The striker produced a stunning over head kick to rifle Leon Osborne's cross past Letheren.

Bennett again dragged his side level on 39 minutes when he raced onto Danny Warburton's pass before slotting the ball past McLaughlin.

Jacob Butterfield was only a foot or so away from putting his side into the lead just after the hour mark when he burst through a couple of challenges in the middle of the park before hammering a low drive a foot or so wide of McLaighlin's post.

Barnsley's youngsters were finally in front on 77 minutes when Bennett, who had an outstanding evening, flicked the ball through to substitute Danny Fearnehough, who finished well from inside the area.
