Barnet battle back from two goals down to win seven-goal thriller at Dagenham

Two Nicke Kabamba penalties helped Barnet stage a thrilling comeback to beat Dagenham 4-3 in the Vanarama National League.

An energetic start to the game saw the Daggers take the lead just one minute in when Josh Umerah smashed the ball home but Idris Kanu levelled just three minutes later with a close-range shot.

The hosts restored their advantage in the 34th minute when Romoney Crichlow tapped the ball home and extended their lead further only three minutes into the second half when Ryan Hill fired the ball into the top corner.

However, Barnet quickly found their way back into the game in the 65th minute through Kabamba, who pulled one back with a penalty kick before scoring from the spot again just three minutes later.

The Bees’ comeback was completed in the 77th minute when Rhys Browne sent them ahead with the eventual winner.
