A late goal from Kwame Thomas gave Aldershot Town a 1-0 win over promotion rivals Barnet, lifting them up to fifth in the Vanarama National League.

Chances were few and far between in a disappointing first half and it looked as if the game would end goalless when Jack Barham’s 80th-minute goal was disallowed for offside.

The home side were not to be denied though, Thomas getting a vital touch on a shot from Tyler Frost to divert the ball beyond Bees goalkeeper Josh Keeley.

Barnet were unable to find an equaliser in the seven minutes of stoppage time as they failed to take advantage of second-placed Bromley being held to a 2-2 draw by Dagenham & Redbridge.
