Comeback victory at Bristol Rovers
Barnet host Bristol Rovers as 16‑game run meets 11‑home win streak
The Bees travel to Bristol's Memorial Stadium this Saturday, aiming to extend a 16‑match unbeaten streak while confronting Rovers' record 11‑game home run.
The Bees trailed at half-time but mounted a second-half comeback. Adam Senior netted Barnet's equaliser in the 79th minute. This was followed by Zac Williams scoring the go-ahead goal with a 25-yard left-footed shot that found the net via the underside of the crossbar.
Manager Dean Brennan told BBC Radio London that he had expressed his frustration to Williams at the interval, stating he needed to 'do better, he needs to do more'. Brennan added that Williams is 'a little bit of a worrier' but acknowledged his significant contribution in the second half, particularly his goal.
The victory was sealed in stoppage time by Kabongo Tshimanga's strike, completing the 3-1 scoreline. This unbeaten sequence dates back to a home defeat against Newport County in March.
