Barrow 2-1 Sutton United

Emile Acquah and Jamie Proctor hit late goals as Barrow came from behind to beat 10-man Sutton.

Visiting striker Harry Smith was sent off after 13 minutes for violent conduct and although they took the lead through Lee Angol's first-half strike, Sutton could not hold on for victory.

Acquah's 80th-minute leveller sparked relief among the home fans, and substitute Proctor sent them wild as he broke the U's hearts with the winning goal.

Smith's dismissal for a foolhardy stamp came after he had felled Tom White in an accidental clash of heels. Referee Martin Woods did not see it but it was spotted by the fourth official.

With an extra man, Barrow started to create chances and Ged Garner crashed a shot against the crossbar, as well as finding the side-netting with another chance moments later.

But, between those chances came Angol's strike, capitalising on hesitancy from White and nicking the ball off his toe before homing in on goal. Although Paul Farman's save looked to have rescued White, Angol was alert enough to collect the rebound and fire home his first of the season.

Barrow continued to spurn chances in the second half, while Angol and Omari Patrick had openings to increase Sutton's lead.

Then, two quickfire goals from the Bluebirds turned the game on its head.

Acquah ran on to Sam Foley's ball over the top to fire in a fine first goal for the club.

Two minutes later, Foley found Proctor in the box and he poked in the winner to devastate a tiring Sutton.
