Bradford enjoyed a flying start to the new season as two early goals helped them sink MK Dons 2-1 at Stadium MK.
Alex Pattison’s brilliant long-range effort and Sam Sherring’s own goal saw the visitors leading 2-0 after just five minutes and although Alex Gilbey pulled a goal back, Graham Alexander saw his side hold on for victory against his former club.
The game came the day after it was announced Pete Winkelman had sold MK Dons after 20 years in charge to a Kuwait-based consortium led by Fahad Al Ghanim.
When the action got under way, it took Bradford only two minutes to take a spectacular lead as Pattison found the top corner from 25 yards out.
Sherring then sliced Tyreik Wright’s cross into his own net soon, putting the visitors 2-0 up.
Dons halved the deficit with 20 minutes gone as Gilbey received Callum Hendry’s pass, burst into the box and fired home a low shot.
The hosts had several chances to draw level in the second half, with Gilbey, Hendry, Matt Dennis, Stephen Wearne and Tommy Leigh all missing opportunities as Bradford claimed the points.
