Bradford registered their first league win in five games with two second-half goals to see off Newport 3-1 at Valley Parade.

Newport came into the contest with back-to-back wins and threatened early on through tall striker Kyle Hudlin.

Andy Cook’s header was saved by Nick Townsend at the other end but Newport should have gone ahead after 32 minutes. Bobby Kamwa’s cross picked out Aaron Wildig at the far post but the skipper scuffed the chance of a fifth goal in seven games.

Townsend saved well from Jamie Walker but had no chance with Bradford’s 39th-minute goal, Cook angling a powerful header home from Jay Benn’s cross.

Newport began the second half on the front foot as Hudlin rattled a 20-yarder just wide and Kieran Evans’ flicked header flashed past a post.

The equaliser came after 65 minutes with Evans picking out Hudlin to head past Sam Walker.

But Jamie Walker struck 10 minutes later, converting Bobby Pointon’s cross with the help of a deflection.

And sub Pointon claimed a third after being set up by Benn.
