10-man Accrington downed by Barnet skipper

Barnet earned their first home win of the season thanks to Ismail Yakubu's winner in a 2-1 result against 10-man Accrington. The Barnet skipper powered home a close-range header from a corner in the 75th minute. Seconds earlier Accrington goalkeeper Kenny Arthur saved John O'Flynn's penalty following a foul by visitors' substitute Robbie Williams on Albert Adomah, with Williams given a straight red. Barnet took the lead when O'Flynn headed his first goal for the club. Accrington levelled on the stroke of half-time when Colin Murdock scored with a free header but Yakubu snatched the points late on.
