Fleetwood Town's hopes of moving up the League Two table were dashed as they lost 2-5 to Barnet at Highbury. The visitors were clinical in front of goal, with Romoney Crichlow-Noble setting up Callum Stead to open the scoring. Shaun Rooney's late tackle on Ryan Glover earned him a red card, and the Cod Army struggled to cope with the man disadvantage. Anthony Hartigan curled in a delightful finish to double Barnet's lead, but Harrison Neal pulled a goal back for Fleetwood. Mark Helm levelled the scores from the spot, but Kabongo Tshimanga scored twice, including a penalty, to put the game out of reach. Diallang Jaiyesimi added a fifth goal for Barnet, sealing a convincing win. Dean Brennan's side moved to within four points of the play-off places, while Fleetwood Town were left to ponder what might have been. The Cod Army fought hard, but ultimately came up short. Kabongo Tshimanga's goals were a major factor in the win, and his performance will be a concern for Fleetwood Town's manager. The defeat leaves Fleetwood Town with much to think about, and they will need to regroup quickly to get their season back on track.
