Match Progression
Barnet held to draw at Crewe, face Tranmere in FA Cup
Tom Knowles scored Barnet's goal in a 1-1 Sky Bet League Two draw at Mornflake Stadium.
Tom Knowles opened the scoring for Barnet in the 34th minute with a strike from outside the area. The goal followed a free kick cleared to Knowles, who scored his second league goal of the season. Barnet held this lead into halftime. The second half saw limited chances until the final ten minutes. Crewe equalised in the 85th minute when a free kick into the danger area was deflected into the net by Zac Williams, with the goalkeeper out of position.
Both teams had opportunities to win the match in the closing stages. Crewe's header struck the crossbar shortly after the equaliser, and Barnet's late shot was saved. Manager Dean Brennan, who was serving a one-match touchline ban, was reportedly disappointed with the efforts of substitutes Isiah Noel-Williams and Zac Williams, who were involved in the free kick that led to the own goal.
