Hartlepool United 1-0 Barnet
- Published
Luke Armstrong's ninth goal in 13 matches helped Hartlepool keep third in the National League after a 1-0 home win over struggling Barnet.
Armstrong, signed on loan from Salford in December, had already seen former Hartlepool goalkeeper Scott Loach make a smart save before he scored.
But he maintained his prolific form when he turned in Mark Shelton's cross from close range in the 32nd minute.
Hartlepool almost quickly doubled their lead when Rhys Oates put his effort just over.
The pressure continued in the second half when Gavan Holohan's goalbound effort's caused a mix-up between Loach and the Barnet defence.
Shelton tried his luck from range for the hosts, while Luke Molyneux blasted over the bar, as did Courtney Baker-Richardson at the other end for Barnet, before Hartlepool claimed all three points.
