Matthew Dennis hits double as Southend beat Barnet
Posted Wednesday, February 02, 2022 by PA
Matthew Dennis’ double saw Southend move up to 13th in the Vanarama National League after a 2-1 win over Barnet.
Dennis scored twice in the first-half to make it back-to-back wins for the Shrimpers while Barnet suffered their third consecutive loss.
Bees skipper Jamie Turley was absent from the side for reportedly taking a stand against a member of Barnet’s staff, who allegedly made a racist comment during Saturday’s game against Stockport.
Dennis made an instant impact for Southend in the fourth minute after scoring from a rebounded shot.
He then doubled the lead in the 27th minute after Aston Oxborough saved Tom Clifford’s initial shot, and was able to tap in the rebound.
Barnet pulled a goal back in the 36th minute through Adam Marriott, who hit home a low shot, but the Bees were unable to end their losing run.
