Barnet 1-2 Brentford

Brentford's unbeaten run stretched to eight games - despite being reduced to 10 men - thanks to a Glenn Poole brace.

Midfielder Poole scored on 37 minutes before Gary Smith was sent off five minutes after the break.

Joe Devera had a chance to level but failed to convert and Poole made Barnet pay from the penalty spot with 11 minutes remaining.

Adam Birchall grabbed a consolation goal in injury time but it was not enough to rescue Barnet.
