York went ahead in the 37th minute and Barnet equalised just two minutes later. The score nevertheless remained level until Jake Reeves put the hosts ahead in the 80th, before an own goal widened the margin in the 87th. York’s lead was brief, while Barnet’s move from equality to a winning position took most of the remaining contest.
The third goal needs to remain identified as an own goal rather than being credited to a Barnet attacking scorer. The attempt figures below add context without pretending that every shot was an equally good chance. This result concerns one fixture, not a final verdict on the season table.
