Richie Smallwood the guilty party as the winger gets away from Bradford’s defenders. Hurst gets up and pushes him with the ref booking both players.

James Brown has a great chance to release Kyle Hurst from the halfway line but gets his pass wrong and the chance is gone. Hurst could have been through on goal with some quicker thinking.
