Chesterfield 4 v 0 Barnet: LIVE UPDATES (3pm)

Key Events

Barnet go close again

This time Oluwo heads onto the roof of the net from a corner. Visitors on top. They should be ahead.

Off the bar and off the line!

Barnet hit the crossbar and then Palmer clears the rebound off the line. Town living dangerously here.

Mistake by Palmer allows Pritchard in on goal but Grimes gets back to recover well.

Naylor takes aim from distance but it just whistles inches wide. Cook has his hands on his head. He thought that was in, as did Naylor.

From Colclough's cross but he was miles offside anyway.

But it's straight at Walker. Grigg led a counter down the right before picking out Naylor on the edge of the area. 0-0 on 23.

From Mandeville's clipped free-kick after Colclough was fouled.

Collinge heads over

From a corner. Barnet have been the better side so far. They have imposed themselves really well. 0-0 on 18.

Proper game, this. A free-kick from the left comes in, Tyrer flaps a bit, the ball is bouncing around in the box and it might have been Grimes who made the clearance/block off the line.

Banks breaks clear down the right, he crosses low with Dobra lurking, Collinge turns it behind for a corner, but only just, the ball wasn't far away from finding the bottom corner. From the resulting corner, it's cleared to the edge of the box, Banks volleys towards goal but it is straight at keeper Walker.
