It was a tale of two penalties as Oldham and Barnet played out a 1-1 League Two draw at Boundary Park.
Oldham went into the game having won their previous three, keeping clean sheets in all of them but their opponents dominated the first half.
Barnet took the lead in the fifth minute after a corner brushed Mike Fondop's fingertips and referee Sebastian Stockbridge pointed to the spot.

Mark Shelton showed great composure against his former club to put Barnet ahead, although the midfielder was booked for his celebrations in front of the home supporters.
It was practically Shelton's last act - as injury forced him off in the 17th minute - and the remainder descended into a scrappy affair with Barnet protecting their lead.
But Micky Mellon's second-half substitutions paid off as a patient Latics side were back on level terms when Donervon Daniels was bundled over in the box, and Michael Mellon levelled from the spot in the 71st minute.
It could have gone either way after that as Mellon junior was twice denied by Barnet goalkeeper Cieran Slicker, while Tom Conlon cleared off the line for for the hosts.
