Barnet hosted Wealdstone in a game that was decisive for the hosts to earn the top flight in the National League.
The side coached by Dean Brennan passed in advantage with Callum Stead, but could not keep the advantage conceding a 100th-minute goal from Corie Andrews that led to bizarre scenes in the visitors’ half. A supporter entered into the pitch but he was brutally stopped by the stewards.
Classy that from a Wealdstone fan. Pinning down and punching the steward. pic.twitter.com/eJOpfyeGbe

The referee was hit by a smoking bomb with Dale Baines’s left shoulder making contact and with the referee stumbling in shock.
The orange flair that hit the ref didn’t come from the @Wealdstone_FC end. Assume that will be in the match report… pic.twitter.com/Mkk6SmTao2
