Byron Harrison boosts Barnet into FA Cup second round
Posted Thursday, November 22, 2018 by PA
Substitute Byron Harrison netted a 77th-minute winner as Barnet came from behind to shock Sky Bet League One club Bristol Rovers with a 2-1 FA Cup first-round replay win at the Memorial Stadium.
The Vanarama National League side fell behind in the 63rd minute when Rovers striker Tom Nichols ended a goal drought stretching back more than a year by tapping home from Kyle Bennett’s cross.
But Craig Robson equalised in the 75th minute, reacting quickest to a chip into the box and lifting the ball over advancing goalkeeper Adam Smith.
Two minutes later Harrison slid in at the far post to convert a cross from the left by fellow substitute Dan Sparkes.
Rovers should have been ahead by the break. Bennett was left with an open goal after a penetrating move down the right, but somehow contrived to shoot against the left-hand post.
Barnet striker Manny Duku reacted angrily to being replaced by Josh Walker in the 35th minute and lashed out at the side of the visitors’ dugout as he left the pitch. Manager John Still responded by banishing him to the dressing room.
