Match ends, Barnet 3, York City 1.
Barnet 3-1 York City
- From the section League Two
Barnet ended their three-game losing streak with victory over York and moved away from League Two's relegation zone.
John Akinde broke the deadlock in the second half, slotting home a finish after being played through on goal.
York thought they had gained a point when Michael Coulson levelled with a drilled effort 10 minutes from time.
However, Michael Gash smashed a 25-yard free-kick into the bottom corner just two minutes later, before Josh Clarke raced clear to slot in late on.
Barnet manager Martin Allen told BBC Radio London:
"We weathered the wind in the first half and then knew that chances would come our way in the second half.

"I thought we showed a lot of resilience in the first half, and I thought we played quite well.
"The people sung with enthusiasm, the players played with enthusiasm and if you pay your money you want some action. I think people who came today got value for money."
York City manager Russ Wilcox told BBC Radio York:
"Nowhere near good enough in a nutshell, the second half performance.

"I thought the first half was even. But the second half we conceded a soft goal, got ourselves back in the game and throw it all away within two minutes.
"It's unacceptable and not good enough.
"I feel for the York fans again. They got behind the team really well and we've got to produce better than that."
