National League: Late win for Barnet, but Wealdstone beaten

But north London neighbours Wealdstone fell to defeat by the same margin in Gateshead after letting a lead slip.

Barely a minute was on the clock when Bees fell behind as Danny Whitehead gave Fylde a shock lead.

Marvin Armstrong sent an effort from the edge of the box wide as Bees looked to respond, with a good cross evading the head of captain Harry Pritchard.

Danny Collinge saw his shot deflected behind on 20 minutes and Zak Brunt lifted another attempt over the target just past the half-hour mark.

Laurie Walker made a good low save to deny Fylde a second on 34 minutes, before Anthony Hartigan’s free-kick was well saved at the other end.

And Collinge saw another shot sail wide of the far post after cutting inside shortly before half-khbrksport as Barnet’s frustrations grew.

Dean Brennan made a couple of changes around the hour mark, with Fylde reduced to 10 men when Siyabonga Ligendza was dismissed for a second bookable offence on 71 minutes.

And Pritchard had Barnet’s best chance of the game saved by the visiting keeper moments later, before Stead steered a low shot into the bottom corner to level on 80 minutes.

Bees were inches away from taking the lead in the third minute of injury khbrksport when Kabamba shot against a post.

But they got their reward in the dying seconds as Kabamba found the net.

Barnet: Walker, Hall-Johnson, Collinge, Armstrong (Stead 58), Kabamba, Kanu, Pritchard, Hartigan, Oluwo (Okimo 60), Potter (Barratt 83), Brunt. Unused subs: Gillmore, Senior.
