Republic of Ireland international David Connolly took his tally to nine goals in six matches after scoring four goals to give Wimbledon a 5-3 win at Valley Parade.

Connolly's feat earned the praise of manager Stuart Murdoch as Wimbledon came from behind three times against Bradford before taking charge of the match in the second half.

Murdoch said: "David Connolly is a quality player and he's in a rich vein of form at the moment. The way we play we are going to make chances and he's putting them away.

"He missed the start of the season through injury. Who knows where we would be if he had been fit from the start?"
