Former Barrow striker Tyler Smith came back to haunt his old side with a late winner to keep Bradford’s slim hopes of making the play-offs alive.
Bradford are enjoying a strong end to the season and this 2-1 moves them up to ninth, two places and two points adrift of the play-offs with one game to play, a home game against Newport County on Saturday.
The Bluebirds have endured a poor run at the worst part of the season with just one point from six.
After 29 minutes, brilliant 20-year-old Bobby Pointon gave the Bantams the lead with a well-placed goal. Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman made a fantastic save to deny Andy Cook in the 20th minute.
After Kian Spence leveled with a lovely free kick on the hour, home forward Cole Stockton’s attempt was cleared off the line as a result of their pressure.
