Gatlin O’Donkor and Anthony Hartigan were on target in the first half as promotion-chasing Barnet claimed a 2-1 win at Hartlepool in the Vanarama National League.
O’Donkor opened the scoring for the Bees after 11 minutes following good work by Zak Brunt and went close to adding a second when he headed over.
Hartigan did double the lead and in spectacular fashion just before the interval when he curled in a free-kick from out on the left.
Hartlepool responded after the break but could not find a way past Josh Keeley in the Barnet goal until Nicky Featherstone headed an 89th-minute consolation.
