Nottm Forest 3 - 0 Bradford

Nottingham Forest eased to victory over Bradford to set up a second round Carling Cup tie against Middlesbrough.

Paul Anderson gave Forest the lead when he latched on to a Nathan Tyson cross and headed in at the far post.

Tyson was again the provider as he crossed from the left for Dexter Blackstock to volley in.

Lewis McGugan completed Forest's win when he tapped in an Anderson cross before Bradford had Jonathan Bateson sent off for a foul on Tyson.

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies told BBC Radio Nottingham:

"They are never easy games, first half we had to be patient. We had to increase the tempo a little bit and I said that to them at half-time.

"I thought second half we scored some great goals. We had some excellent passing movement and you can see the quality in the side. In the end it's a very good result for us."

Bradford City manager Stuart McCall told BBC Radio Leeds:

"It's a better performance because we came to contain and we came off at half-time and we'd done that.

"The big disappointment is losing a goal so early in the second half, but in the majority of the game there were a lot of positives.

"I sensed a desire and determination to amend things from Saturday."
