Stevenage fell to a dismal 4-1 loss against Bradford at Valley Parade on Tuesday night.

A first half treble by Bantams' Andy Cook with a late fourth from captain Niall Canavan sealed Boro's first defeat of the season, despite Elliot List equalising.

Poor defending throughout, paired with a touch of class supplied by Cook capped off a miserable night in Yorkshire for Alex Revell's men in front of 14,257 including 101 Boro fans in the away end.
