Kabongo Tshimanga scored for Barnet, but a red card and late goal from Oldham secured a draw.
Dean Brennan described the referee’s second yellow card for Isiah Noel‑Williams as a farce during the post‑match press conference, Barnet Post recorded. The decision came after Noel‑Williams was shown a second caution for an alleged elbow on Jamie Robson with twenty minutes remaining.
