Bradford twice came from behind to beat Wimbledon and maintain their unbeaten start in League One.

Bobby Pointon had a couple of early shots saved by Wimbledon keeper Nathan Bishop, but it was the visitors who struck first on 26 minutes.

Matty Stevens beat Joe Wright in the air to set up Marcus Browne to score with a low drive from 20 yards.

Bradford were behind for only six minutes. Bishop denied Stephen Humphrys but then made a hash of his punch from Tommy Leigh's cross, the ball dropping for Wright to head into the unguarded net.

Humphrys went close for Bradford with a shot that rattled the bar just before half-time.

Wimbledon restored their lead in the 53rd minute, with Stevens finishing cleverly from Nathan Asiimwe's cross.

Bradford responded again eight minutes later through Pointon after Bishop parried a shot from Humphrys.

Wimbledon had chances to go back in front through Browne and Steve Seddon, but it was Bradford who found a winner when sub Will Swan pounced on a mix-up between Bishop and Ryan Johnson after 83 minutes.
