Barnet returned to winning ways in League Two with a 3-1 victory over 10-man York at The Hive.

Joe Grey's left-footed effort was saved by Barnet goalkeeper Matthew Cox before Mark Kitching was flagged offside after tapping home from a subsequent cross.

Ollie Pearce's low drive forced Cox into another save on the counter-attack midway through the first half.

York broke the deadlock in the 37th minute through Arthur Read's left-footed strike into the bottom corner, but Barnet's Kabongo Tshimanga equalised two minutes later after turning smartly and finishing past York goalkeeper Alfie McNally.

Tshimanga threatened again after Jack Maskell played him through, but McNally saved his effort. York's Hiram Boateng was then sent off after receiving a second yellow card for attempting to take a quick free-kick in the 52nd minute.

The hosts took the lead with 10 minutes left following substitute Jake Reeves' superb volley before Damola Ajayi's run ended with his effort ricocheting off McNally and into the net for an own goal to seal a first victory in three games in the 87th minute.
