The end-to-end start continued with Jonathan Forte breaking clear on goal only to be denied by a superb last-ditch tackle by Charlie Clough before he could get his shot away.

Nicholls had a low effort saved by Adam Collin before Forte dragged an effort wide.

Just after half-time, Craig Ross had to use his feet to stop Forte from breaking the deadlock.

At the other end, Jordan Nicholson had a shot saved and Simeon Akinola hit the rebound into the side-netting.

Rob Milsom nearly scored directly from a corner before Liam Walker's curled shot went just wide of the target.

With the game heading for a draw, Nicholls' superb effort gave Barnet a shock win over promotion-chasing County.

With relegation rivals Chesterfield and Forest Green having games postponed, the Bees reduced the gap to safety to four points.
