Bristol Rovers 3 - 1 Barnet : Rovers sting Bees
Posted Sunday, August 23, 2015 by PA
Lee Brown's second-minute strike set Bristol Rovers on course for a 3-1 League Two win over Barnet, who pipped them to the Conference title last season.
The wing-back let fly from fully 30 yards when Chris Lines played a right-wing corner into his path and the low drive flew through a crowded box to beat Graham Stack.
Jermaine Easter doubled the advantage after 77 minutes, shooting home from eight yards after a Matt Taylor effort had been blocked.
But skipper Curtis Weston gave Barnet hope five minutes from time with a close-range finish after being put through by Sam Muggleton.
It was a rare moment to cheer for visiting fans and substitute Taylor clinched the points after 87 minutes with a low shot after being set up by Lines.
Boosted by Brown's early strike, Rovers created most of the first-half chances.
But Barnet went close too with Bondz N'Gala just wide with a 15th-minute header and John Akinde's 40th-minute shot was saved by the outstretched leg of Rovers keeper Aaron Chapman.
