Cambridge United secured their first away win in Sky Bet League One with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Bradford City at Mbanq Valley Parade.

The Sierra Leone International Sullay Kaikai scored the opener in the 60th minute, but Bobby Pointon equalised for Bradford. Ben Knight, coming off the bench, sealed the win with a late goal.

Manager Neil Harris made four changes to the starting lineup after a loss to Huddersfield Town. Owen Moxon and Ra’ees Bangura-Williams made their first starts, while Kaikai and Gassan Ahadme also joined the lineup.

Cambridge started strong, creating an early chance that Liam Bennett couldn’t convert due to a blocked shot. Supported by their away fans, the U’s played well defensively.

Bradford nearly scored in the 22nd minute, but Cambridge goalkeeper Jake Eastwood made an excellent save. As the game progressed, Cambridge managed to defend against Bradford’s attacks.

The U’s took the lead in the 57th minute after a defensive mistake allowed Kaikai to score. Bradford equalised soon after, but Cambridge responded by bringing on Shayne Lavery to boost their attack.

Just before the end, Knight received a pass from Appere, skillfully moved into the centre, and scored the winning goal for Cambridge.
