Five Dismissed At Bradford

Five players were sent off at Valley Parade tonight - after the final whistle.

A mass brawl started after full time will all 22 players reported to be involved and throwing 'proper punches' according to eyewitness reports. Bradford keeper Jon McLaughlin and defenders Andrew Davies and Luke Oliver were reported to have been dismissed by referee Iain Williamson, with Claude Davis and Pablo Mills dismissed for Crawley.

The Red Devils had already been facing a fine after having six players booked during a fractious game, but the footballing authorities are now likely to clamp down on both sides after the post-match events.

For Bradford's Davies it is likely to mean a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Tonight's red card is his third as a Bradford player, adding an additional two match ban to the likely three game absence caused by violent conduct.
