FULL-TIME: Barnet 1 Accrington Stanley 2


TEN-MAN Accrington Stanley recovered from a goal down to revive their promotion hopes with a crucial win at Barnet in League Two this afternoon.

Stanley had goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin sent off for a professional foul in the 29th minute and John O'Flynn converted the penalty for Barnet.

The Reds were forced bring on substitute keeper Dean Bouzanis in place of John Miles but fought their way back into the game in the second half.

Centre back Phil Edwards headed home to make it 1-1 in the 59th minute and Barnet were then reduced to 10 men when Clovis Kamdjo was sent off for bringing down Billy Kee with 10 minutes left.

Edwards saw his resultant penalty saved by Jake Cole, however, before Kee fired home Stanley's winner in the 84th minute.
