LETTERMACAWARD soccer star Carl McHugh is off to Wembley – for the second time in the same season after another fairytale win on Sunday.
Nahki Wells was the hero as his brace helped Carl’s Bradford City book a return to Wembley in the League Two play-off final at the expense of Burton Albion.
The League Cup finalists, who were beaten 5-0 by Swansea in February, had trailed 3-2 from the first leg.
But Wells capitalised on a defensive error to level the tie before James Hanson gave them an aggregate lead for the first time with a fine finish.
Jacques Maghoma’s penalty meant it was 4-4 overall before Wells struck again.
The Bantams will now face Northampton at Wembley on Saturday, 18 May for a place in League One.
Carl was on the bench for the play-off second leg.
Now he will be hoping to kick a ball on that Wembley turf yet again later this month.
