Barrow and Barnet shared the spoils from a 2-2 draw in a dramatic first ever Football League meeting.

The hosts played almost an hour with 10 men after MJ Williams was sent off for lashing out at Idris Kanu.

Loanee Josh Gordon needed just nine minutes to mark his return with a goal as he slotted home from Connor Mahoney’s pass to put the hosts ahead.

Nik Tavares spared keeper Owen Evans’ blushes when he cleared Gordon’s effort off the line after he was caught out by a Elliot Newby long ball.

Callum Stead levelled in the 51st minute as he collected the ball in the box and fired home his third goal in five appearances.

Barnet, who saw Stead have a second chalked off for offside, were ahead on the hour mark when Adam Senior unleashed a stunning strike.

Moments later Senior hit the bar with another great strike.

Stanway fumbled Nnamdi Ofoborh’s shot before producing a point-black save to keep out Stead’s follow-up.

After his heroics, Tavares had his head in his hands when Newby’s strike deflected off him as the hosts levelled.

Barnet almost stole the points at the end amid a goalmouth scramble which was eventually cleared.
