National League

BARNET 2 Dover 0

Goals from JackTaylor and the returning Mauro Vilhete gave the Bees their first home league win since October. Manager John Still’s plans were disrupted shortly before kick off when Craig Robson sustained an injury in the pre match warm up resulting in Mauro Vilhete getting an unexpected call to the bench. After a largely forgettable opening 45 minutes Barnet got into their stride after the break. Ephron Mason-Clark failed to make most of a one on one with visiting keeper Mitch Walker before a long ball from skipper Callum Reynolds caught the Dover defence out allowing man of the match Jack Taylor to calmly finish his fourth goal of the season. The arrival of Vilhete for a tiring Mason-Clark was greeted by one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon the Bees longest serving player producing an excellent save from Walker after he connected perfectly with Wes Fonguck’s corner. With Dover failing to mount anything against a defence in which Dan Sweeney was outstanding Mindy Elito crashed a shot against the Dover bar before Vilhete completed a fairytale comeback beating Walker from close range in the final minute.
