Games at Barnet are rarely dull affairs and Saturday's was no exception with a late goal seeing City slip to a 3-2 defeat at Underhill.

Things were looking good early on for the Imps when Michael O'Connor fired home his first for the Club but after Dany N'Guessan missed a great chance to double the advantage, the hosts pulled one back when John O'Flynn met a Yannick Bolasie cross to head past Rob Burch.

N'Guessan saw another chance go begging whilst Burch superbly kept out Albert Adomah but the impressive Barnet winger fired his side into a 63rd minute lead after he cut in from the right before fizzing a drive into the top corner.

Within the space of two minutes, Adrian Patulea levelled after the home defence failed to deal with an Aaron Brown free-kick but that man Adomah was always a threat and he created what turned out to be a winner for O'Flynn with just three minutes on the clock.
